I am fundraising for..
I’m taking on the challenge of riding to Cooktown for one simple reason: to make a real difference in the lives of people in our community. Heart disease touches so many of us—whether it’s a family member, a friend, or even ourselves. By supporting this ride, we’re helping fund vital cardiac services that save lives right here in Far North Queensland.
As a Speech Pathologist I work with people who have experienced life altering changes to their communication and swallowing as a result of acquired brain injury, such as stroke. Given that heart conditions are a leading cause of stroke, I am invested in prevention through raising awareness and improving cardiac services within our community. On a personal level, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine ever being in physical shape to complete this ride - yet here I am giving it a shot! I’ve never felt as strong and healthy as I do since commencing cycling in Oct/Nov 2024!!
Every kilometre I pedal is a step closer to better care, more advanced equipment, and improved outcomes for those who need it most. It’s not just a bike ride; it’s a way to give back to the community, inspire others, and show that together, we can achieve something incredible.
Please join me on this journey — whether it’s by cheering us on, spreading the word, or making a donation. Every little bit helps bring us closer to ensuring everyone in our region has access to world-class cardiac care.
Thank you for being part of this ride with me!
