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

Earlier this year, prostate cancer has suddently just become real for me.  Diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer after a PSA test in January 2025, I had surgery early April to remove the prostate.  I'm still on a journey to full recovery, but things are ticking along ok.  At least I'm back on the bike. This September I've set myself an epic fundraising challenge to help bring down prostate cancer and support our mates. 

Here's the gameplan: 

I ride heaps to inspire you to dig deep towards lifesaving education, research and support.

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.

Week 1 update

Monday 8th Sep

Week one of the  Blue September fundraiser cycling efforts done.  On target with the current tally sitting on 322km (goal is at least 1,200km).  Today’s Father’s Day ride was from Wellington to Greytown for a couple of days R&R (with more riding planned) and quality time with my better half.

Spring has started today …..

Monday 1st Sep

…. and so has my Blue September fundraiser activity.  I plan to ride at least 1,200km this month to fight prostate cancer. Many have already donated on my page but wouldn’t it be great if we could raise a little more?  Let’s try to match a $ for each km I ride this month !?  Who‘s with me?  I’m happy to do the hard work for you, all you need to do is donating 😜

Tackle prostate cancer together.
