Story

12 months ago my mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer in her 60's, nothing could be done to treat her or prolong her life due to the type of cancer and we were faced with a grim prognosis of waiting.   

We went to the Royal Marsden to see Professor Harrington for a second opinion and check eligibility for a clinical trial they were running. The strength and determination to get her better gave us renewed hope, which is so powerful in itself towards recovery. Within weeks she was accepted onto the trial and treatment started.

Our current prognosis is very different and she wouldn't even be here now if it weren't for the Royal Marsden. Everyone there gets 5* care, hope and a chance. Please help me to support this amazing charity that is making real differences to peoples' lives and supporting leading research to change the way we treat cancer in the future. 

My mum is amazing, her love for others and passion for life is unsurpassable. We will do everything we can to get her better. Charities like the Royal Marsden have provided amazing support to her and countless others.

Some background from the charity:

The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity raises money solely to support The Royal Marsden, a world-leading cancer centre. We ensure our nurses, doctors and research teams can provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments, which are used across the UK and around the world. From funding state-of-the-art equipment and groundbreaking research, to creating the very best patient environments, we will never stop looking for ways to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.

Very big thank you for any support you can give, the bike ride in itself  isn't the most challenging / worthy of sponsorship but I'm hoping donations will be made of the cause rather than the event.

Many thanks,

Luke
