Ride for Prostate Cancer 2026

Will you support our ride this Blue September? Let's tackle prostate cancer together

This September we set ourselves a challenge to raise awareness of prostate cancer, support a really important men's health issue and acknowledge those who have friends or whanau who have gone through it. 

Here's what we did: 

Six of us ran a team relay stationary bike challenge on Friday 25 September. Between us we cycled 200.3km - we even reported live at our department's staff briefing from it. It was a great fundraiser and we're grateful for all the support from our colleagues. 

Let's tackle prostate cancer together. Donate now. Because prostate cancer is killing people in our community. It's the most diagnosed cancer for blokes in NZ. 

Your support helps provide research into treating and diagnosing prostate cancer, along with support for people affected by a diagnosis. Plus you'll be helping raise awareness so more blokes know to get tested when they need to.

Donate now.
