I'll be participating in a 2-day major cycling event called The Brisbane Ride to Conquer Cancer® benefiting the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute.
I'll be cycling over 200 kilometres that weekend, throughout Queensland's scenic countryside, with thousands of other Riders. All the proceeds will go to QIMR Berghofer, a worldwide leader in cancer research and discovery, and one of the largest research institutes in the southern hemisphere.
I've agreed to raise at least $2,500. So here's where you come in because I need your help to do that. Every dollar will be appreciated. Please use the link at the bottom of this email to visit my webpage and support me. Please keep in mind the commitment I'm making to end this heartbreaking disease, and the personal efforts I'll have to make to accomplish this.
When I say "heartbreaking," here's what I mean: with 1 in 2 Australians diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, and an estimated 121,500 new cases of cancer diagnosed in Australia this year, cancer is the second leading cause of Australian deaths and affects almost 20% of the population. That's why I'm riding. To do something BIG about cancer. I hope that you'll share this incredible adventure with me by supporting my fundraising efforts.
