Story

Seven years since 'Dark Times At The Tour du Mont Blanc', and two years after intending to do it again we're finally going back this July - 330km and 8500m of climbing in a one day ride literally around Mont Blanc. 

My plan was always to raise money for Myeloma UK this year, a small charity which helps and supports people like my dad diagnosed with Myeloma, and funds research in to the currently incurable form of blood cancer.

But then two months ago my friend Alison tragically lost her life to EGFR+ lung cancer, and I decided to do another ridiculous challenge in her memory for another small charity, EGFR+, which supports people diagnosed with EGFR+ lung cancer.

A challenge which is representative of the mountain to climb that faces people diagnosed with cancer, so I am adding EGFR+ to my fundraising efforts and tomorrow, June 3, I'm attempting an Everesting - the mind numbing challenge of riding up and down the same hill until cumulatively climbing the 8848m height of Everest. 

I've chosen a particularly small hill near to home and I am going to have to ride up and down it 366 times covering almost 300km if I am going to make it all the way.
