On 21st November 2019  Morgan was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and was quickly transferred to the Young Persons Unit at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. We are still not really sure why but on 21st December 2019, Morgan was put into a medically induced coma to try to save his life. Thankfully even though Morgan was given a very small chance of surviving he did and he continues to receive the treatment that was researched by Cure Leukaemia at the QE with the support of Teenage Cancer Trust nurses.

Having started maintenance chemotherapy in August 2020 Morgan  was able to restart his fitness journey. When Morgan came out of ITU he had to learn to walk again but little by little over the months that have followed he has slowly regained large amounts of his former fitness through steady incremental training all whilst still undergoing chemotherapy treatment both daily at home and monthly at the QE hospital.

To mark the second anniversary of being diagnosed, Morgan ran a Half Marathon, to raise money for Cure Leukaemia, Teenager Cancer Trust and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Charity.

Our real passion is cycling and prior to Morgan's diagnosis, we completed many cycling challenges including Rome to Home in 2018. 

Having once been able to cycle 100 miles per day, the furthest cycled so far has been 50 miles, so completing 500km in 4 days will be challenging, whilst still on chemotherapy treatment.
