Our quest to cure cancer & change lives
For the past 14 years Gareth, our Managing Director, has dedicated himself to helping find a cure for cancer and change lives. After watching his loved ones be taken by cancer Gareth not only has trained for over nine months each of the 14 years, but has ridden an incredible 130 tour days, covering over 20,000 km’s and visiting thousands of Australian communities.
Gareth also volunteers his time on Tour de Cure’s Risk and Audit Committee as well as at many other fundraisers and community initiatives.
Gareth introduced the Insurance Advisernet Foundation to Tour de Cure. The partnership now in its 6th year has helped fund the work of Australian scientists who have dedicated their lives to finding a cure for cancer. Accompanying Gareth on tour in 2024, to take his and the foundations total donations to over $250,000, was Insurance Advisernet representatives Matt Swayn, Adam Hines and General Manager of Central Region Simon Elliot.
Gareth’s dedication to Tour de Cure and curing cancer was acknowledged when he was bestowed with the charity’s highest honour – the Tour de Cure’s Board Award.
Thank you to all those who supported Gareth on his 14th Tour de Cure Signature Tour in March 2024. The team of 150 rode 1,300km from Hobart to Adelaide in nine days and raised $2.2 million.
