Final update on my fundrasing 'Ride for the Reason'
Today is the one year anniversary for my first shot of 6 months toxic chemotherapy ....and followed up with a bowel resection in September 2020......Unfortunately this cancer journey is not over yet and I am still living with the uncertainty of “watch and act” every three months.
Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I have been living an active life over the last three months. The January 1000 km distance challenge “Ride for a Reason” ended 4 weeks ago. The total amount that I raised was $15,395. The highest fundraiser in history according to Cancer Council SA. I wouldn’t get this tremendous honour without all of my individual sponsors across Adelaide, interstates and around the world. Thank you very much again for your love and support.
Although the distance challenge ride is done and dusted, I have continued to challenge my fitness through various activities. Last sunday, I managed to completed a triathlon on my own [(250 m swim, 6.5 km bike and 1 km run) x 2]. I came second in my category (out of two!). My cheering squad on the day was fabulous .....Thao was running beside me while Robyn was riding at the front and back to provide full support. And my camera crew (Mike, Walter and Andy) did an amazing job capturing those special moments ..... love you all very much...
Over and out for now !!!
Last rides of the month
I did it .... not just 500 km nor 500 miles but 1002 km of Ride for a Reason in total for this January. As per yesterday’s record, it was 873 km. I didn’t think I could make it to 1000 km on the last day of the month. By 4:30 pm today I had done 106 km ride which brings the total distance to 979 km. So my crazy friend Robyn turned up at my house at 7 pm to escort me to do another 21 km to make 1000 km .... however we ended up with 23 km for this evening ride ...
My goal was to raise $1000 for cancer council SA and again it was beyond my imagination ..... $13,500 ....
Many thanks to all my donors (both from Australia and around the world) again for being my great supporters. Love you all very much !!!
The thought of you behind me for this Ride for a Reason has kept my naughty cancer cells at bay. The recent scan result has shown that it did not spread to other parts of my body... Thanks God for that!
Lucky me, last week I was offered a dinner ticket to Festival of Cycling VIP dinner so here I was ... wearing something different then my cycling jersey ....
Over and out... time for this mermaid to get back to the pool

Smashed both goals
I am overjoyed to share with you that I have met both targets of my fundraising “Ride for a Reason”. That is 500 km bike riding during January and raising $1000 for the Cancer Council SA.
The total amount I have raised so far is beyond my imagination ..... more than 11 times what I aimed for which brings me to number one on the leaderboard. A wonderful surprise!!!! The donations not only came from within South Australia but also interstate and around the world i.e., Singapore, Vietnam, Netherlands, America and UK (sorry if I accidentally left out your country). Many thanks again to all my dear donors for your generous donations.
I also would like to thank the Fitton Mounfield’s family for sending father (Paul) and son (Josh who is 20 years old that could sleep-in like other uni students while on uni break) to escort my ride yesterday morning. When they knew I am doing the bike ride for fundraising.... they offered to ride with me....What a wonderful gesture!!!
Finally, a big thank to my wonderful friend whom I nicknamed Coach Mike for celebrating in style with me when I met my 500 km ride target on Tuesday (19 January).
My current riding distance is 600 km and I have one more week to ride so my aim is to reach 800 km which is approximately 500 miles. For those who haven’t had time to donate yet please click on the donate button to sponsor this famous self inflicted injury and accident prone girl, as you can see in the photo below.
My 10th ride (81 km) on Saturday 16/1
This morning was my 10th ride. I got up at 6 am in order to get to Adelaide Railway station before 7 am. I caught a train to Christie Beach with my three companion riders (Coach Mike, Captain Gareth and Commando Mandar). From Christie Beach, we rode to McLaren Vale, Willinga, Seaford, Port Noalunga (for fish and chips lunch) and back to Christie Beach Station via O'Sullivan beach near Port Stanvac. The bike tracks were beautiful but oh my god since I am only a beginner with cycling and also just got my health back, you can see some of the photos I uploaded below that I shamelessly had to climb up those slopes by walking beside my blue princess bike :-(My 4th ride
Thank you to all my sponsors. I am so happy and overwhelming with all the love and supports locally (every states in Australia) and overseas including Singapore, Netherlands, USA, UK, and Vietnam...Something about me
I'm Riding for a reason in January
I am dedicating this January to ride as many km’s as I can to support the many South Australians impacted by cancer. Did you know that every day 28 South Australians hear the words ‘You have cancer’.
The money raised through Ride for a reason enables Cancer Council to fund vital prevention, research, advocacy and support programs that save lives.
With one in two Australians diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85, the need to find better ways to detect and treat cancer is real.
Donate to support my ride so together we can work towards a cancer free future!
