Hello! 

Today is the last day of June and the last day of Bowel Cancer Awareness Month 2021…meaning the last day of my fundraiser. ?

I have a big afternoon of cycling ahead of me, but it is so so so worth it. 

What this money will achieve and do for so many people, makes my heart feel so happy ??

Any last minute donations would be massively appreciated, remember donations to charity is tax deductible ?

I will never stop fighting for this cause, it robbed my mum and our family of so much. So I will do whatever I can to help other families out there. 

Thank you Mum for today’s sunshine flowing through the windows, making it a bit easier to get onto the bike and get these pedals spinning ?

Halfway through June... this is crazy how fast this month is going. 

We have currently raised $2584 out of my $3000 goal. 

I have cycled 437km of the 1000km target.

Hello :)

Fitness update I am currently 260km into the month .. I'll pop it all in below (the strava connection has synced activities from February) - I've split some days into two or three rides to try and save my legs.. going well so far :)

So proud of what we have raised so far, thank you all for the support and generosity

With Love

June 1st - 2021

Here we go... June. Time to make some noise and raise some funds.

Did you know that Bowel Cancer claims the lives of 103 Australians every week? (thats 5336 people a year...) - but if found early is one of the most treatable cancers. 

I want everyone to make a personal mission to talk to 5 people you know over the age of 45 and ask them about bowel screening. Also for the people under 45, chat to them too... keep an eye on any changes because you are never too young for this, it isnt an old person disease and i am mortified it is labelled as such. Check in with yourself and check in with friends and family, keep them accountable for their checks..

Day 1 Complete. Ride 1 Complete 

One Day til June 1st

We hit the initial target goal of 1k in the two weeks I had this page up ... so I have upped the goal to 2k today... and if we hit that I will raise it again. I will be pedalling this month for mum... so people in the same shoes wont have to suffer as bad, so people can be tested earlier, so this stupid killer can be rid of.... lets make some noise people.

Today, my mother passed away from this horrible cancer. She fought so hard and was the strongest person I know. Phenomenally, on this day we hit our fundraising target, she would have been so proud. I talked to her so much about this ride and what the money would do for people in similar circumstances as her. 

Only a few days til June begins, I cannot wait to start this challenge for her.

June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month

Cancer Council estimate that approx 84,000 Australian lives could be saved in the 20 years with their National Bowel Screening Campaign, if they can increase participation by  just 20% 

Imagine if they could get 100% participation, how many lives would be saved. A little awkward conversation about bowels is worth it, i promise.

Why?

My why is my Mum... I am doing this so other people don’t have to experience what she is going through... get the money into early detection and preventions.
