Why I’m Riding Pedal4Prostate This Year

This year, I am taking on the 4-hour endurance challenge at Hampton Downs Motorsport Park to ride for Pedal4Prostate—and every single lap I complete will be dedicated to my dad.

​When someone you love receives a prostate cancer diagnosis, it changes everything. Standing on the sidelines, it is easy to feel powerless watching your dad navigate the appointments, the uncertainty, and the toll the illness takes. Taking on this challenge is my way of turning that feeling into tangible action: putting my head down on the track to fight for him and every other father, brother, and son facing this journey.

​Prostate cancer affects roughly 1 in 8 Kiwi men, impacting not just the patient, but the entire family. The Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand relies heavily on community donations to fund essential support services—including specialist nursing, counseling, exercise programs, and research.

​I’m riding 4 hours on the circuit to raise critical funds and help break the silence around men's health so more Kiwi men get checked early, when treatment makes all the difference.

​If you are able to support my ride with a donation, every contribution directly helps families navigating this fight. Thank you so much for your support, encouragement, and generosity!
