Throughout May, we're hosting a virtual fitness challenge that invites you to set your own distance goal! Whether you prefer riding, swimming, running, or walking, you can participate at your own pace, wherever you are, all while raising vital funds for the Peace of Mind Foundation.

Here's how it works: set your fitness goal for the month and start moving!

Plus, with the flexibility to choose your activity and location, you can fit the challenge seamlessly into your schedule.

But that's not all. We're here to support you every step of the way. From training tips to fundraising strategies, we'll provide you with the tools you need to reach your goals and make a meaningful impact.

Brain cancer affects thousands of lives each year, but together, we can make a difference. By participating in Challenge Brain Cancer, you're not just getting active—you're joining a community dedicated to bringing hope and support to those in need.

So, are you ready to take on the challenge? Sign up today and let's fight brain cancer one stride, stroke, or pedal at a time.

Meet Ryker

Our Challenge Brain Cancer - Tri Challenge Ambassador

When Ryker was two years old, his mum and dad noticed a troubling decline in his development. Many medical appointments later, the confronting news of Ryker's diagnosis was revealed, he had brain cancer.

What followed was a harrowing time for all with surgery and treatment, with Kristie giving up her paid employment to care for Ryker. Today Ryker is making incredible progress but still needs a team of support around him after experiencing a multitude of challenges post-surgery.  Now a busy and energetic four-year-old, social butterfly Ryker loves to make people laugh, make up random songs and is passionate about the solar system. 

Mum Kristie is hoping to transition Ryker to preschool and when asked what her hopes are for his future, the response is simple and moving. 'I'd just love to see him grow up and have a healthy and happy life.'

Keep on reaching for those stars Ryker.
