Fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support
Story
This time last year my amazing friend Penni received the devastating news that she had breast cancer. Thankfully she had a FANTASTIC team (including a dedicated Macmillan nurse) who have now made her a CANCER SURVIVOR!
Penni has convinced me to cycle a silly distance - 178 miles/286 kms over 3 days to raise money for this great cause. London - Bruges, over BIG hills, along windy coastal roads and navigating the traffic out of London.
I've been training through Winter and it's been tough. But giving me the inner strength is knowing that every penny we raise by doing this, will do some great things for a fantastic cause.
We have all been touched by cancer in some way. It would be remiss of me to write about cancer without mentioning my own mum, who has recently been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia.
I’m dedicating my ride to you mum.
