Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

On July 5th 2011 I will be taking part in a 'Coast to Coast' cycle ride covering 180 miles across England, from Workington to Filey. The route, which we plan to complete in 3 days, takes us over some very steep terrain - through the Lake District, across the Yorkshire Dales and finally across the Yorkshire Moors. I started training last month and am slowly getting used to being in the saddle for prolonged periods of time!

 

I am using the challenge of the bike ride to try and raise some money for the Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research charity, to help accelarate the clinical trials required before new drugs can be given to patients suffering from this illness. My father suffered and eventually succumbed to this disease, so it is something I have experienced at close quarters. 30,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with a form of blood cancer each year, so you can understand the importance of getting clinical trials completed quickly.

 

Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research is the only UK charity dedicated to finding better treatments and cures for all blood cancers, including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

 

I am covering all my own costs for the trip, so 100% of your donation goes directly to the charity. Give what you can, it is all greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew
