Story
I love bikes and I love cycling, but I am no mountain goat and have actively avoided hills since relocating from one pancake city (Melbourne) to another (Perth) in 2015. I take a lot of convincing to ever ride hills - even though I openly acknowledge to having a severe case of FOMO! Hills mean discomfort and ultimately an inability to breathe let alone chat, and that's not something I'll sign up for easily!
However, the discomfort of riding hills is only temporary, unlike disease and illness. The serious side is that I can ride because I am fit and well and am in a position to help those who are not.
The facts are:
- Childhood brain cancer kills more children than any other disease in Australia
- Treatment has not changed significantly in over 30 years
- Impacts of existing treatments are severe and lifelong
I am riding in aid of promoting awareness of childhood brain cancer, and raising funds for medical research into new and more effective treatments. As a direct result of research, such cancers as childhood leukaemia, cervical cancer and melanoma survival rates and impact on quality of life have improved significantly.
Please support this cause by making a donation as I embark on the challenge of preparing for the Dams Challenge 2019, which culminates in a 136km ride through Kalamunda ("The Hills") enduring over 1,500m of vertical elevation.

The Pirate Ship Foundation Ltd
The Pirate Ship Foundation is a bold and passionate community that funds vital research into childhood brain cancer through a range of initiatives, adventures, events and partnerships.
Childhood brain cancer kills more Australian children than any other disease.
The identification of improved treatment options for children with brain cancer is our primary objective, ultimately leading to a cure.
We believe it is important for our community to understand the impacts of a brain cancer diagnosis to a child and their family. Even in the best possible cases, treatments are so damaging to a developing brain that they leave shocking, irreversible and life long-side effects.
We know that together we can support research that will deliver better outcomes and make a significant difference to those children and their families.
Funds are invested directly into childhood brain cancer research programs, including to the Brain Tumour Research Program at Telethon Kids Institute in Perth.
