Event: London 2 Paris 2019, from 12 September 2019 to 15 September 2019
Cure Leukaemia's premier cycling event, London 2 Paris: Inspiring The Revolution will take place for the 4th time 2019! The 4-day, 500km, cycling event is one of the only closed-road events of this kind available in the UK!

Story

I started road cycling less than a year ago, have never cycled more than 80km in a day, haven't really learnt how to use clip-ons. Riding on hills make me look like a character out of a movie playing in slow-motion, only that everyone else seem to be in the normal-speed version of the same movie.. 

Bottom line is, I'm a pretty shit cyclist, but I'm aiming to train hard over the next few months in order to make it from London to Paris, covering 500km, climbing over 3700m, over four days in September, all in aid of Cure Leukaemia. Please give what you can, thank you!

38,000 people are diagnosed and 14,000 die from blood cancers in the UK every year. Almost a third of all cancers diagnosed in children diagnosed are leukaemia. Cure Leukaemia has been fighting back since 2003. Every penny raised through Cure Leukaemia's London 2 Paris ride will go towards supporting the groundbreaking work of Professor Charlie Craddock CBE and his team of clinicians based at the Centre for Clinical Haematology at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham and now at centres across the UK.
