Bowel Cancer Research is the UK’s leading bowel cancer charity. They fund targeted research, provide expert information and support and they are there to stop people dying of bowel cancer.

My son Tom was diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer in 2020. He has endured three major operations, two cycles of gruelling treatment and an extra spell in hospital with sepsis. He’s now in remission, due to the brilliant work of his oncologist, two surgeons and all of his excellent specialist nurses. Tom wanted to do the London to Brighton ride and I volunteered to accompany him on this 55-mile ride out. Wish us luck and thanks for reading this!
