Story

I'm doing this in memory of Rachael Davison, she passed away at the end of 2016 from B-Cell Lymphoma one of the most common forms of blood cancer. 

We are completing a 500 mike cycle ride from Roscoff to Nantes and back in 6 1/2 days in order to raise money. All being very amateur cyclists this is going to be much more of a challenge than last years 3 peaks so any support you can offer would be greatly appreciated. 

Why choose Anthony Nolan? At the start of Racheals treatment, during the initial Chemotherapy I was made aware that there was procedure available that could significantly enhance the chance of curing Rachael's condition. It uses stems cells from a compatible donor, to help reboot the immune system so that the cancer wouldn't come back. Unfortunately Her brother Richard or other sister Melissa were not a match. This is where Anthony Nolan came in, through the trust, a compatible donor was found, which gave way to a renewed hope that this next course of treatment could have helped beat the disease and give Rachael her life back.

We're all incredibly proud of Racheal for how she dealt with the disease, she was incredibly resilient and so strong given the circumstances, unfortunately after a valiant battle it was not to be and she passed away peacefully in Nov 2016.

With greater awareness and financial support for the organisation, more people with Blood Cancers will have the same opportunity Rachael had.
