The VCMF is a fund I set up in memory of my dear mum who left a huge hole in all our lives on December 8th 2008 when she lost her short battle with cancer aged just 50. This page is to keep her memory alive whilst supporting others.

Story

Welcome to the campaign fundraising page of the Veronica Claxton Memorial fund.

The particular page is dedicated to our now annual cycle into Europe which this year sees us start at the world famous Mont St Michel in northern France before we cycle the whole length of France and finish in San Sebastián in Spain.

The ride will take place over 5 days from Sunday September 22nd to Thursday September 27th over approximately 500 miles.

As always me and the lads self fund the trip with some extra help from our corporate sponsors who support us year on year.

Once again we ride for the amazing Young Lives Vs Cancer supporting the most seriously ill children and their families in the UK through their cancer journey.

This years squad is made up of

Luke Claxton, Liam Johnson, Andy Park, Joe Carter, Mark Cade, Glen Huddle, Dougie Gallimore, Mark Ling, Gareth Bell, Daniel Moyes, Paul Jenner, Stephen Hastings and Richard Todd.

With our amazing 4 man support crew of

Steve Smith, Tommy Barringer, Dave Pinner and Gary Jolly.

Thank you for reading our story and hopefully helping us towards our target.
