RPM / Cycle Marathon

It's been 5 long years...

Today, more than 53 Australians will be told that they have blood cancer and tomorrow - another 53 families will be devastated by the same news.

In 2019  I was diagnosed with an aggressive and rare Lymphatic Cancer in an even rarer part of my body, my duodenum. There were not enough case studies for the Doctors to properly know how I would respond to chemo and how my body would recover. I lost 25kg, weighing only 59kg at one stage, and spent four months going through the toughest chemotherapy a human being could be put through. The Doctors were certain my overall good health and high fitness levels would cope and pull me through. Luckily, they did, and today I am alive and well...and thankful. 

On the 13th December 2024, after five years, I will finally be considered cured. 

The Leukaemia Foundation helped me many times. On the occasions when I was allowed out of hospital for a few days, but still had to go in for chemo, their volunteer drivers would pick me up and drive me to and from hospital. I was too weak to drive on my own and I was not allowed to be in public places or around many people. If I had to go in for chemo on a day when no one was free from work I relied on these amazing volunteers.

I have created this page to raise vital funds to help provide the special care that is needed to get families through a blood cancer diagnosis as well as to help fund more game-changing research into this disease.

The money I raise will help provide care for those in need right now — and it will back the brightest researchers to continue uncovering faster diagnoses and better treatments to save lives. 

To all my friends at Goodlife, please show me your support by donating to my fundraising campaign.
