Story

I agreed to participate in a charity bike ride in memory of a client and friend of mine, Jon Seymour. I will also be thinking closely of my Mother who died in June 1991, also from a brain tumour and lung cancer.

For those of you who don't know, Jon died due to a tumour in his brain that had not been found in any of his scans. He was diagnosed only last May and died in August.

Jon's widow, Jane, is organising the charity bike ride and her reasons are below:-

"Jon loved cycling and one of the reasons for him moving to Reigate was the easy access to cycle routes around here. He was hoping to do the London to Brighton bike ride again this year and even when he got diagnosed he was determined to do it!!! And so because he can't, I thought maybe many of us could! Not London to Brighton exactly, but around the roads that John loved to cycle."

Apparently, brain tumour research is dreadfully underfunded, here are some facts:-

- Brain tumour research receives less than 1% (0.7%) of national cancer research spending in the UK

- 20% of all cancers spread to the brain

- More people under 40 die of a brain tumour than from any other cancer (Jon was 40 years 8 months)

- Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children in the UK

I attach the link to the just giving site and would be really grateful if you could sponsor this ride.

Many thanks,

Adrian
