Story

I have been supporting blood cancer charities for years and participated in many different long distance cycling events. After recently spending time with the amazing Professor Charlie Craddock and Professor Paresh Vyas, and learning about how close they are to finally finding a cure for Leukaemia, I knew that I had to dedicate more time and effort to support their achievements. .

I have therefore decided to join Geoff Thomas MBE, to be part of a 19 strong team to ride all 21 stages of the Tour De France in 2022, one week before the professional race. Covering 3,328km in 21 days, this will be the hardest challenge I have ever undertaken. We are collectively aiming to raise £1,000,000 and I know that through the generosity of my network of amazing friends and colleagues, I can help contribute to this target.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my page and read my story. I am extremely grateful for every pound, dollar, euro or franc that you so kindly donate.

Merci beaucoup.

À bientôt!

Ps. Thanks so much to my awesome friend, Jimmy Hotston for donating £1000 (offline) to get this journey underway. 

Cure Leukaemia helps blood cancer patients to access pioneering drug and transplant treatments by funding a network of specialist research nurses across the UK. Without these nurses, to ensure patients are monitored and cared for, clinical trials of these new treatments would not run and patients, that have exhausted standard treatment options, would miss out on potentially lifesaving therapies. Every penny raised for Cure Leukaemia helps save lives and also hastens global progress towards the eradication of all forms of blood cancer.
