Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Nigel:

All of my professional life as a consultant anaesthetist in the NHS I have been involved in treating patients with cancer. At least one day a week for nearly 30 years I worked with surgical colleagues treating men with prostate cancer.  This is the commonest of cancers affecting men and is just as devastating as breast and cervical cancers are for women, yet these are far better known, publicised, and supported.  After I retired from clinical practice I decided to take on the challenge of fundraising for charities that I support, and this seemed the obvious place to start! Some of you may already know that I have had cancer myself and have undergone major surgery, so supporting a cancer charity is doubly relevant for me.  Cycling has always been a part of my life and I have enjoyed cycling challenges before - preparing for this ride has also been a big part of my rehabilitation to full fitness!  

Please consider supporting us, all the money you donate will go to Prostate Cancer UK as we are fully funding all the travel and associated expenses ourselves.  And don't forget to tick the "Reclaim 25% by Gift Aid" box if you are a taxpayer!  Thank you!

In a moment of weakness I agreed to join Nigel...!  But then the challenge took on a life of its own, as it is a great way of getting fit and dealing with your psychological barriers - 100 miles is a long way in one day! We have already cycled over 60 miles from home to Wharfedale over steep hills and into howling winds - and back the next day - surely the French roads can't be harder...?
