Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have been inspired to ride in support of Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research throughout the rest of this year and 2014 to offer my support for such a fantastic cause that has shown such support and care for people close to us all. 

Having had friends, young and old, be diagnosed with different forms of blood cancer you realise that it doesn't discriminate and it makes you put things in to perspective.

I have been taking on new challenges recently and have many more planned for the coming year. You can show your support for this great cause by sponsoring me as I put my body to the test.

Since October I have taken on the following events: New Forest 100 (5th Oct, 100 mile Sportive), Box Hill Original (13th Oct, 100 mile Sportive), Thruxton Mass Attack Duathlon (20th Oct, 5kRun-30kRide-5kRun Race), The Devils Punch (Nov 3rd, 75 mile Sportive) and The Old Deer Park, Richmond 10k Run,  Evans Cycles Basingstoke Ride it! (8th December 80 mile Sportive).

Events in 2014 are the Chichester 10k (9th Feb), Bath Half Marathon (2nd March), The Wiltshire Wildcat (16th March 80 mile Sportive), AtlonTEN (10mile road race, running), The French Revolution (June 15th, 75 Mile Sportive starting in Calais),The Magnificat (July 13th, 128 mile Sportive), Wimbledon Half Marathon (July 27th), RideLondon100 (10th August), London Bikathon (31st October) and a return to the Thruxton Mass attack duathlon all to come!

Please dig deep and support this great charity.

Take a few moments looking around the website and you will see the many great initiatives and people working to beat blood cancer. Here is a small snippet of how they are beating blood cancer.

Around 30,000 people are diagnosed with a blood cancer in the UK every year.

At any one time Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research have:

  • £65 million committed to life-saving research
  • 260 active research projects around the UK to beat blood cancer

By investing in the best UK research into blood cancer we aim to find a cure for all these diseases and improve the quality of life for all patients touched by leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related conditions.
