Joining my fantastic friend Florence on the London to Brighton cycle (that’s 90km with a big ol’ hill at the end for those of you who don’t know!) to commemorate the loss of her dad, Patrick and raise money for the charity which did so much for him and their family last year.

Whilst Florence’s target is ambitious and as per usual she’s rocketing toward it, mine is a little smaller mainly due to my failure to just get myself organised and giving you lovely people a very short amount of time to donate - £200 = £10 donations by just 20 people so if you would like to give a little extra that would be much much appreciated

I promise to follow up with photos of me dripping in sweat and questioning my life decisions with a big pint on Sunday

The Royal Marsden 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.
