Ride to Conquer Cancer

a good friend of mine is embarking on a great mission to raise money for cancer awareness.  i know that cancer has touched the lives of almost everyone in some way or another.  i feel as though we can never give enough to support funding for this disease.


you can click through to the links below to help support her and you can also follow her journey buy clicking through to her blog here.  here is a little about rebecca and her story:



Please Support My Ride to Conquer Cancer™
Recently I found out that a family friend has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour at the age of 13!

Feeling rather helpless, and also feeling very guilty for taking my 'health' for granted, I decided that enough was enough.

As most of you know, I am certainly not the fittest nor am I the most sporty person you will come across, but I plan to reach my goal regardless.

It is time for me to get fit, and I am excited to be raising funds for ALL cancer related research in the process.

My challenge!!
To be fit enough to ride 200+ kilometres by the 18th August 2012 over two days, and to raise a minimum of $2,500 to be able to participate in the ride.

The Rio Tinto Ride to Conquer Cancer is a cycling journey throughout Queensland's scenic countryside that I’m embarking on to fight cancer. 

It will be a challenge in a number of ways, but with my bike, my helmet, and your generosity, a real impact will be made! 

To give you an idea of what 200+ kilometres LOOKS LIKE, below is a rough map of my journey ONE WAY!!!



So what I am asking of you......?
Please cheer me on if you can, hold me accountable if I slacken off with my training...and most importantly... PLEASE DONATE to this excellent cause!!!

Funds raised in The Ride to Conquer Cancer will support breakthrough research, exemplary teaching, and compassionate care at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research,
a worldwide leader in cancer research and discovery and one of the largest research institutes in the southern hemisphere.

Thank you in advance for your help.
Rebecca Andrews
