Kidney to Melbourne

It first started as a challenge - a couple of mates, their bikes and one long and hilly road.

Fast forward a couple of months and I was recovering from surgery having my right kidney removed after a shock cancer diagnosis.

After being truly inspired by the care and support offered by The Peter Mac Cancer Centre and wanting to give something back in return, the Kidney to Melbourne ride became the perfect opportunity to raise some money and do just that.

So the boys and I are in training, and come Boxing Day (and with our Christmas carb loading!!) we will depart from Centennial Park in Sydney and follow the coastal road for 9 days and approximately 1100kms to Melbourne.

Make sure you give us a toot if you happen to be anywhere on the road between Sydney & Melbourne over Christmas.

Peter Mac Supporter Events for Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre

The Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre is the only specialist cancer hospital in Australia. It also houses the largest cancer research group in the country.

Cancer touches all of us either directly or indirectly during our lives. Today, more than half of those diagnosed with cancer will have a successful response to treatment. This significant progress is due to the dedication of clinicians, nurses, scientists, volunteers and benefactors, who are all creating a better future for people touched by cancer.

Sir Peter MacCallum believed that nothing but the best is good enough in the treatment of cancer. We strive to maintain his dream.
