As an initial dare between siblings, in the face of his sister Connies' terminal diagnosis with breast cancer, Sam unicycled around Australia. Together with his sister, they raised over a million dollars for breast cancer research. He continues to honour his sister's legacy by touring around Australia with a team of equally motivated volunteers raising much needed awareness about pre checks and screening, the latest research and treatment technology. This team of people is bloody amazing. Keep them on the road. Click on the Love Your Sister image and make a donation. Kick cancer to the curb.
