Next year I will be taking on a pretty epic cycling challenge (for me anyhow!) by riding all stages of the 2024 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift (TdFFAZ) route, just one day ahead of the professionals in August 2024 – all to raise funds for Cure Leukaemia, the official UK charity partner of the TdFFAZ

Some of you will know that I lost my uncle, Robin, to Leukaemia, he was just 33 years old and left behind my cousins, Hannah and Emily who were only 3 and 1 years old and grew up without their Dad.

My mother in law, Linda, was diagnosed with Blood Cancer 10 years ago and will live with it for the rest of her life on a variety of cancer drugs which result in many side effects for her.

I have quite a big target  … but it’s quite a big challenge! Just under 1000km and a few hills 😬I will be holding various fundraising events over the next few months, but it would be fantastic if you feel you might be able donate as well. 

Cure Leukaemia helps blood cancer patients to access pioneering drug and transplant treatments by funding a network of specialist research nurses across the UK. Without these nurses, to ensure patients are monitored and cared for, clinical trials of these new treatments would not run and patients, that have exhausted standard treatment options, would miss out on potentially lifesaving therapies. Every penny raised for Cure Leukaemia helps save lives and also hastens global progress towards the eradication of all forms of blood cancer.
