31st May 2025: Terry Devine, a passionate motorbike enthusiast will today embark on the most meaningful ride of his life – a solo journey around Australia to raise much-needed funds for Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF).
This epic two-month adventure is deeply personal for Terry, as it honours the memory of the close friends and family he has tragically lost to cancer over the years. With a spirit fuelled by decades of friendship and a heart full of love, Terry is riding to ensure that others may benefit from life-saving cancer research in the future.
“I’ve lost three best men, four best mates, and my father to cancer. It’s been heart-wrenching, but I know I can honour them if I keep fighting, keep pushing, and support the research that will make a difference,” says Terry.
“This ride is my way of turning grief into action and raising the funds that will drive cancer research forward.”
Riding his trusted Royal Enfield 350, Terry’s route will span more than 15,000 km, starting from Brisbane. His route will take him through northwest Queensland, through the NT, across the top of Australia to Perth, across South Australia from the Nullarbor to Port Augusta then onto Victoria, and Tasmania, before heading to Canberra, Sydney, and back up to Brisbane. Along the way, he will stop in towns big and small, raising awareness and gathering support for ACRF’s vital cancer research programs.
Terry’s route:
Carly du Toit, General Manager of Fundraising and Marketing at Australian Cancer Research Foundation, says Terry’s dedication to raising awareness and funds for cancer research is truly inspiring.
“His personal loss is a reminder of the devastating impact cancer has on families, and his commitment to making a difference will help accelerate progress in critical areas like early detection, prevention, and treatment. We are incredibly grateful for Terry’s support, which plays a key role in driving forward the groundbreaking research that will save lives.”
“Keep an eye out for Terry and show you’re support along the way. Jump on your bike for part of the trip, wave to him as he comes through your town and donate to help him reach his target,” Carly says.
Terry’s ride is not just a personal mission; it’s a call to action for all Australians to move towards a world without cancer together. Every dollar raised goes directly to ACRF to support groundbreaking cancer research. By supporting his journey, you’re not just cheering him on – you’re contributing to world-class cancer research that saves lives.
