I'm riding for a world without type 1 diabetes.
On 21 November 2026, I'm jumping on my bike for the Breakthrough T1D One Ride — taking on the rolling hills and vineyards of the Barossa Valley to raise funds for type 1 diabetes research.It'll be a tough day in the saddle. But it's nothing compared to what people living with T1D face every single day.
Type 1 diabetes doesn't discriminate. It can show up at any age, without warning. Eight Australians are diagnosed every day, and from that moment on, it's a 24/7 condition — up to 180 extra decisions a day just to stay safe and well. There are no days off.
That's where Breakthrough T1D comes in. As the world's largest funder of type 1 diabetes research, they're behind the breakthroughs that are changing life for more than 140,000 Australians with T1D — and bringing a cure closer.
Here's how you can help: every dollar you donate goes straight to research. Please chip in today and help me get closer to my goal.
Thank you — it genuinely means a lot.

Training update: one big ride down the road, then the final build
Tuesday 13th Oct
After Bowral I’ll take an easy recovery week starting Monday 19 October. Then from Monday 26 October the real work begins: three weeks of building load with a mix of VO2 max intervals and some very long Zone 2 rides. From Sunday 15 November I’ll taper again, ready for the Breakthrough One Ride 160km on Saturday 21 November.
If you’d like to support me, a donation of any size makes a real difference. Thank you to everyone who has already chipped in! Share
