This year, I am taking on the "Three Tours Challenge". This epic feat will see me cycle the three Grand Tours; The Giro D'Italia, Le Tour de France and La Vuelta a Espana consecutively.

It is a monumental challenge and we are doing it to try to raise £1m to help Cure Leukaemia fully find the expansion of the internationally renowned Centre for Clinical Haematology. Not only will the centre immediately save more lives but it will also hasten global progress towards eradicating all forms of blood cancer within 25 years, a goal that we all want to reach even sooner.
