Story
Cancer is an indiscriminate predator. Turning your own body against itself. The only way to beat it is to find a cure, a fix, a means to fight back.
I started doing the London Bikeathon in 2009 in memory of my best friend Paul who died in 2000 at the age of 25 from Hodgkin's Lymphoma after a three and a half year battle. Paul had several rounds of chemo and radiotherapy and Two stem cell transplants. He never gave up and always had a smile for you. The Bikeathon took on an even more personal meaning for me in 2010 when my mother was diagnosed with Cancer. Although it wasn't a blood cancer it didn't matter to me. Sadly my mother died after a short hard fight in July of that year. I miss them both so very much.
I did two more Bikeathon's before an operation to hopefully slow down the Arthritis in my right knee stopped me. In 2013 i was involved in an accident with a car which re-ruptured ligaments and destroyed what was left of the cartilage in my right knee kept me off of my Bike until now. So 5 operations later, constant pain and with nothing in my right knee but bone I'm back and i'm going to do this 52 mile ride with a very close friend.
Please support me and please support those suffering from and trying to beat blood cancers.
I thank you from the very bottom of my heart x
