Matthew Bosch Ride for Cancer

By Tanya Bosch

I'm fundraising for a great cause!

This is an ongoing fundraising in the name of my younger son Matthew who died in 1995 of cancer. All monies to go to CCIA. 2025 marks 30 years since Matt died. Eddie and I will mark it by riding Sydney to Melbourne via back roads 1000K plus at the beginning of March next year. Please follow this on Facebook on https://www.facebook.com/MBR4C

My Updates

Just over 4 days to go!

Sunday 1st Mar
Thank you to people from my church, my online indoor rowing group and my local bike group for donating. I’ve reached over 4,500. I’m so grateful 

An update and many thanks

Sunday 1st Feb
We are now leaving on the 6th March and arriving in Melbourne if all goes to plan by the 28th March. A journey of 1103K over 18 riding days and 5 rest days. I'm turning 70 three days before. I have been blown away by all the support. A big thanks to all who have supported. 

Change of date for our fundraising ride

Monday 11th Aug
Due to injuries to both of us (we are getting old you know!) we have put back the ride to 7th March next year. Meanwhile please follow Matthew Bosch Ride For Cancer as I will be updating with stories of training and reflecting on grief
