Help to beat cancer.
Thank you for visiting my online fundraising page in support of Cancer Research UK. For a long time, I have harboured the ambition and challenge of cycling the length of the UK by myself and unsupported. After successfully raising nearly £800 for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research at the Blenheim Triathlon last year, I am finally planning to do the 850 mile solo journey in aid of Cancer research starting in the second week of August. My route will take me from John O’Groats in the north of Scotland to Land's End in Cornwall via the North West and West Midlands.
So many people I know have been affected directly or indirectly by cancer, including a recent scare with my own family. Cancer Research UK is the world's leading charity dedicated to beating cancer through research and is a cause I wholeheartedly support. My aim is to raise £1500, which means that I would be very grateful for your support. The trip is being funded by me, so all of the money raised will go to the charity so. Please dig deep and sponsor me – it’s quick, easy and totally secure. Cancer Research UK is funded entirely by amazing supporters like you. By sponsoring me you can help more people survive cancer. Every pound you donate really does make a difference to Cancer Research UK’s life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer – so please sponsor me now! Gift Aid it! If you are a UK taxpayer, please remember to tick the Gift Aid box when donating as this will increase your donation by at least 25% at no cost to you. Many thanks for your support. Together we will beat cancer.
I shall be keeping my Twitter blog up to date with news about my preparation and progress. If you are interested, you can follow me at @nathanielfowles. My blog will include my ‘sketch of the day’ project which I have been running since the beginning of the year, where I will be posting drawings documenting my journey.
I am very excited about this challenge and hope you can help me raise money for this worthy cause.
Thank You
Nathaniel Fowles
