Raising money is never easy especially during and after multiple recessions.  I've picked a charity that I believe is well worth giving your hard earn cash to, so please dig deep and help me smash my target.  

On Wednesday 4th September 2013 I will cycle from Les Gets in the French Alps all the way down to Menton on the South Coast of France.  I would describe myself as a keen cyclist although I have never taken on a challenge like this before in my life!  I decided to raise money for charity because of my personal experience with losing someone I love to cancer. Seeing my Mum fighting cancer was heart breaking, but I can not imagine how hard it must be if its your husband, wife or child.  I feel it is essential that more research and development of cancer killing drugs and techniques is carried out in the hope that we will one day find a cure.

5 Quick reasons to donate now:

1. There are more than 200 types of cancer, each with different causes, symptoms and treatments.

2. Around 325,000 people were diagnosed with cancer in 2010 in the UK, that's around 890 people every day.

3. Every two minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer.

4. More than 1 in 3 people in the UK will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime.

5. Cancer is the number one fear for the British public, feared ahead of debt, knife crime, Alzheimer’s disease and losing a job.
