Story

 

 

As you may already be aware of, I have recently started training for the London - Frankfurt Cycle Challenge to fight against cancer!

Indeed, mid-May, I will embark on a 4 days cycling tour, going through 5 different countries (which is not for the faint hearted!), raising funds for the Eve Appeal charity.

The Eve Appeal charity funds groundbreaking research focused on developing effective Cancer prediction, detection, treatment and care. It focuses specifically on gynaecological cancers, which are the world's fourth largest cancer killer of women. Every day 50 women in the UK are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer and 20 die.

 

This challenge is very important to me and I am strongly dedicated to fight against cancer as I know of too many people (certain very close to me) who have been fighting this terrible illness for years. This is my way to tell them that they should not give up fighting, to support them and to pay my respect for their bravery in such difficult times.

So, thank you for taking the time to visit my page and support our fight against cancer.

 

 

How will I show my commitment?

Starting from London, going through France- Belgium-Holland and crossing the finish line at Deutsche Bank Frankfurt, we will cover approximately 650km (400 miles) over 4 days.

Needless to say this race is not like a Sunday afternoon bike ride and therefore requires long training and strong focus...

 

 

 

I foresee my legs will be burning like hell, but I promess to stay focused on our ultimate target, which is to raise funds and bit cancer!

How can you show Your Commitment?

How long would you be able to cycle? How far can you go?

Maybe you don't have the time to train yourself to do the London to Frankfurt ride with me, but I am sure each one of you can still participate to this worthy cause by sponsoring me.

 

 

 

 

My target is to raise 2 GBP per Kilometre! That would be a total of £1300.

At this rate, I would be extremely grateful if you could donate sufficiently for me to cycle to Bombay, but I'll take some rest after Germany this year.

For UK tax payers, Just Giving will make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every donation.

In Addition, Deutsche Bank London will match your gift, so for every pound you give, they will add one more – Giving to your contribution twice the impact!
