My target 250 kms

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

This September I've set myself a fundraising challenge because my father and brother-in-law had prostate cancer and four of my friends have been diagnosed with it. I’m hoping to mountain bike 250km this month. We are in the middle of lambing, which makes it tricky to ride on the farm, but I can also ride on gravel roads.

Please donate now. 

Prostate cancer is killing people in our community. It's the most diagnosed cancer for men in NZ.

Rewa Bush Ride

Sunday 21st Sep

Two friends joined me today for a 40km ride today from Tauweru south to Wainuiouru, and east through the Rewa Bush Conservation Area, a rarely-visited 1200ha area of indigenous forest in the Eastern Wairarapa hill country that contains a significant amount of old growth podocarp forest.

DOUBLE your impact!

Thursday 18th Sep

Get in quick to DOUBLE your impact! All donations to my Blue September – Ride for Prostate Cancer page from 10am today will be matched for a limited time only. That means your gift will go twice as far to support the 10 Kiwi blokes diagnosed with prostate cancer today. And tomorrow. And every day. Donate now.

On target
