'On yer bike' to help raise funds that support life-saving research for all forms of cancer at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre . The Ride to Conquer Cancer benefitting Peter Mac is an incredible 2 day (25-26 October 2014), 200km fully supported ride through picturesque Victoria. You'll cycle from Melbourne through the Mornington Peninsula on a route with fewer hills. For two days, you'll proudly cycle past vineyards, nature preserves and coastal communities. Yep, 2 days of riding sounds like a lot, and it's meant to be. Conquering cancer is a monumental task and won't be easy. The Melbourne Ride is Victoria's largest fundraising event that has raised over $10.5million and brings together communities of riders, survivors and their supporters with one common goal in mind. To help conquer cancer.

This ride is for anyone who wants to challenge themselves for a great cause. Think of it as a history making opportunity for you to do something big about cancer, something epic. All you need is a bike, a helmet and a commitment to make a difference. You don't have to be an athlete to participate. Registration for the ride will cost you $50.

Australia's only public hospital solely dedicated to cancer treatment, research and education, Peter Mac treat more cancer patients than any other hospital in Australia. Having grown from humble beginnings with just a handful of staff in a one-room clinic, to over 2,500 staff at 5 sites across Victoria. Their sense of purpose and commitment to making life better for people with cancer and all those who support them, continues today. Their remarkable growth has pushed capacity at the East Melbourne campus to the limit. To accommodate the changing and highly specialised needs of cancer patients and research, not to mention combating limited space, in 2016 they will move to a new and bigger purpose built centre.

I share with you a video of the proposed new place and one about the 'ride'. I hope you will all come on board for this worthy cause.
