Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

On January 26th this year, my cousin Alexis lost her 2 year battle with cancer and passed away at home with her family. She had just turned 20.

From the day Alexis was diagnosed, she spent many hours attending hospital appointments, undergoing invasive procedures and staying on hospital wards with other patients, many of whom were not of her age. For a teenager suffering from any sort of cancer, an important part of the journey is the environment in which they are treated and the other patients they are able to relate to. That's where the Teenage Cancer Trust come in.

At the Teenage Cancer Trust, they involve young people when they plan their units, it’s all about giving teenagers the chance to be themselves. A Teenage Cancer Trust unit brings teenagers with cancer together, so they can support each other. Being able to talk to people going through exactly what they’re going through makes a huge difference.

Alexis' family and friends are supporting this charity so they can carry on the fantastic work they do. Simon and I are going to cycle from London to Paris to raise money and awareness of this fantastic cause.

300 miles. 4 days. 2 very sore back sides!

We've got 5 months of training ahead of us and any amount you are able to give, however small, would be hugely appreciated.

Thank you!!

Kate and Simon
