Pedalling Through the Pain – For Harlyn ‍♂️

There are no words that can truly describe what my mate Rich is going through right now.

Today, he lost his beautiful daughter Harlyn to a brain tumour. She was just a little girl — brave beyond measure, full of life, and stronger than most adults could ever imagine. Through every hospital visit, every treatment, and every setback, she never stopped fighting.

Harlyn’s courage inspired everyone around her. She showed what true strength looks like.

Now, as Rich faces the unbearable pain of losing his daughter, he’s looking for a way to channel his grief into something meaningful — to ride, to run, to swim, and to keep moving forward in her memory. He’s set his heart on training for an Ironman, a challenge that takes every ounce of strength, focus, and heart a person has — and that’s exactly what Rich wants to do: fight like Harlyn did.

This GoFundMe is about helping him do that. It’s not just about a bike or gear — it’s about giving a grieving dad a way to heal. The training, the miles, the sweat, the pain — they’re all steps on a road to finding peace again.

Every donation, no matter how small, will go toward helping Rich get the equipment and support he needs to take on this journey. It’s our way of saying: you’re not alone.

Let’s help Rich pedal through the pain, carry Harlyn’s spirit with him, and show that love and strength can live on — mile after mile.

Thank you for reading, for sharing, and for being part of this journey.
