What is Life Cycle for CanTeen?

Life Cycle is a registered charity which runs events for OnRoad and OffRoad cyclists in WA. The OnRoad event started in 1998 ridiing from Perth to Busselton over three days. March 2024 was our last one of these.
Our OffRoad event started in 2012 and takes place in September or October each year. So far, we have travelled the length of the Munda Biddi Trail and visited the Margaret River, Collie, Pemberton, Denmark and Nannup areas.

Life Cycle is the biggest community fundraiser for Canteen in Australia. Canteen members, volunteers and staff participate in the OnRoad, giving riders the opportunity to meet and hear from the people we are supporting.

Life Cycle is run by a dedicated group of volunteers on two committees.

Life Cycle for CanTeen Inc (ABN 27 251 421 905) is registered as a charity with the ACNC.

What is Canteen?

Canteen is the only organisation in Australia dedicated to providing tailored support for young people aged 12-25 who are impacted by cancer. Through Canteen, they learn to explore and deal with their feelings about cancer, connect with other young people in the same boat and, if they’ve been diagnosed themselves, Canteen provides specialist, youth-specific treatment teams.

Your contributions will support Canteen WA in supporting Young People through providing connections with other young people in similar situations through events and programs; free counselling and individual support; 24/7 online support communities and specialist treatment and support services for young cancer patients in hospitals.

Spirit of the Ride Award.

Congratulations to Thayana Mubila and Greg Ellisdon for receiving this year’s Spirit of the Ride Award.

About 12 years ago Thayana lost all but 10% of her vision after illness. At the start of this year she joined WATCAC which enables vision impaired cyclists to ride tandem bikes. Coincidently Greg offered to pilot. Thayana and Greg put in many hours of training in anticipation of the Life Cycle event and were amazing in tackling the Brown Group on Thayana's first event.

Congratulations Thayana and Greg.

PS Thayana has a bucket list that some of the participants have offered to help her achieve.
