I am going to make good out of what is otherwise a fundamentally rubbish situation, and use this opportunity to raise as much money as I can for Cure Leukaemia.

Story

Simon and I are cycling 3 races this September as part of Team Jenna, to raise funds for Cure Leukaemia (CL). The Warwick tempest, (70 miles), the Worcester Swan, (70 miles) and finally the Birmingham Velo (100 miles).
Cure Leukaemia helps to save lives and hasten global progress towards eradicating blood cancer within the next 30 years. CL supports the internationally renowned Centre for Clinical Haematology in Birmingham and a network of specialist research nurses across the UK who administer often world first and potentially life-saving clinical trials to leukaemia patients who have exhausted standard treatments. In 2017, Cure Leukaemia is committed to raising an additional £1m to double the Centre's capacity for patients, world first trials & nurses.
Personally, a very dear friend's father died far too young from Leukaemia some years ago, but the effects of this disease were brought home to me recently when a young lady at the same gym I use was suddenly diagnosed with this terrible disease, and I want to help CL reach their target of £1m to provide the funding for the new Centre.
Please donate generously

Many thanks
