739KM DONE! 💙🚴‍♀️

Sunday 27th Sep

Jess has officially completed her September challenge, cycling 739km in memory of the 739 Kiwi men who lose their lives to prostate cancer each year.

She has put in so many hours to get here — early mornings, late nights, long rides and plenty of pushing through with jelly legs! We couldn’t be prouder of her for sticking with it and getting those final kilometres done. 💙

This cause is incredibly close to our hearts after losing our dad, Daniel, to prostate cancer in December 2024. He was only 62.

Jess has done this to honour Dad, remember the men we’ve lost and, most importantly, raise awareness for the men we don’t want to become part of that number.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported her, donated and cheered her on throughout the month. Every bit of support means so much to our family.

If you’d still like to donate, all funds raised go towards the Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ.

Early detection saves lives. Many men have no symptoms, so please encourage the men in your life to talk to their GP about getting their PSA checked.

A simple test could save a life. 💙

Last year’s walk was amazing! Thank you to all who showed. Looking forward to spreading more awareness this year!!
