Think Pink Foundation

Martin Howley, a fifty-year-old Irishman who lost his mother and sweetheart to Breast Cancer, arrived in Melbourne this morning after riding from Sydney as part of a 4,343 kilometre fundraising ride in support of the Think Pink Foundation. Martin will start riding the 763 kilometres to Adelaide on Saturday morning.

Martin said he expected to finish the ride, in honour of his mother Claire and girlfriend, on Sunday 28 October 2018 in Perth.

The ride has been timed for the month of October - Breast Cancer Awareness month.

"I have been gearing up the training for the ride for the past eight months. The ride includes pedalling from Sydney to Melbourne, then Melbourne to Adelaide and Adelaide to Perth, to make a difference by fundraising for the Think Pink Foundation and its Living Centre."

In 2018, an estimated 18,235 Australians will be diagnosed with breast cancer, an average of 50 people per day. Approximately 3,000 Australians will die from breast cancer in 2018 / 2019.
