Help me support kids in need

I live In Mansfield, Victoria & heading into 2026 I will be beginning year 12 at school. 

I turn 18 on the opening night of the 20th Anniversary of the Chain Reaction Melbourne Challenge. 

I’ll be riding over 1000km in 7 days raising much needed funds for the Monash Children’s Hospital & The Starlight Foundation

I am very fortunate as I have never had any major health issues and have hardly been to hospital. I’ve been able to ride all kinds of bikes, run, play team sport, and perform music freely without my time as a kid being interupted by major health issues. 

My goal is to raise a minimum of $20,000 towards the events total goal of 1.1million 

Follow me in my journey of fundraising, training, and supporting kids less fortunate than myself. 

Thank You To My Donors

Congrats Ryder & Tim, such a meaningful experience (for you both !!). Hopefully you will not require the "hand of God" that Tim had to occasionally give me in my early rides !! I still remember a couple of "miscalculated" hills on routes where we were faced with +20% gradient & Tim felt guilty enough to give us all a final push !!
