The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity is a main source of funding for many of the doctors, nurses and researchers at the Royal Marsden, including Dr. Ian Smith - a leading expert in Breast and Lung Cancer.

My mother passed away in October 2002, following a four year battle with breast cancer. Dr. Ian Smith was her primary doctor, who dedicated much time and effort into providing the best treatment possible.

Unfortunately, we do not have a cure for cancer, and, despite the efforts of an amazing team of doctors, my mother passed away, widowing my father, Rowan, and leaving behind her three children, myself, Max and Clio.

I am taking on this cycle challenge in order to raise money for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity in order to support the research of Dr. Smith and his colleagues, so that, in the future, no one will have to suffer through the loss, and pain of treatment that cancer inevitably inflicts on the sufferer and their family. The charity contributes to research as well as patient care, treatment, and diagnosis.

Donate as much or as little as you like - every little bit helps in the fight against this truly awful disease!
