In memory of Gary Morrissey & Jane Metzidakis

Riding in memory of my friends Gary and Jane who passed away from cancer and for all the kids fighting this disease.

My Story

28 Jun 2025

Sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.

Dave
