Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In March 2012 thirty intrepid cyclists will be joining me to cycle over the Andes from Argentina to Chile finishing at the Pacific Ocean.

We are, as before, raising much needed funds for The Urology Foundation (TUF) - a cause very close to my heart.

TUF urgently needs funds to support research into the causes of and cures for prostate, bladder, kidney and testicular cancers.  It also provides funds to train young clinicians in the very latest techniques of robotic, laparoscopic and laser surgery.

Previous cycling challenges for TUF have been in Sicily, Malawi and Madagascaar but this one promises to be the toughest of them all.  Please do support me and the team as we struggle up the Argentinian side of the Andes and hurtle down the other side, off road, into Chile.  Every penny you give will go straight to TUF as each and every one of the riders is self-funded for the trip.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now - your support is very much appreciated.
