After achieving (surviving lol) my London to Paris ride last year. For some reason I’ve decided to do it again. This time from Bristol to Amsterdam
One of the main reasons I’ve chosen to take on this challenge on behalf of Young Lives vs Cancer is because of the people I met on my last adventure. One in particular who with his family had been through the hideous experience that cancer can create. Thankfully the Young Lives vs Cancer charity were there for them and after a bit of time they won there fight!!
So now is our time to give back, with the hopes that you will all support us!
So alongside the friends I made from my last humbling experience. We are going again! For Olivia’s fund! Below is his words and insight into their most worrying time and the reason we are fundraising for this amazing charity.
January 2020, our world was turned upside down when my 7 Year old daughter Olivia went into hospital for a routine appendix removal, shortly after my wife and myself were given the news that the appendix was fine and that she has Burkitts lymphoma a large mass which was growing fast in her stomach. After being transferred to Addenbrookes for full diagnosis then being told the news our lifes would change forever, 6 months of chemotherapy on then Olivia got to ring the bell to signal the end of treatment ... but seeing not just Olivia but other children on this ward has opened my eyes to this horrible disease and I feel I need to give something back! Young Lives vs Cancer were there for the whole family and helped by having someone there to talk to when things got tough.I am always up for a challenge! I have recently supported Young Lives vs Cancer in several challenges, time to do another!
