In June 2025, I will be tackling The Tour 21 on behalf of Cure Leukaemia, alongside 24 amateur cyclists as we look to complete the full Tour de France route one week ahead of the professionals.
Starting in Lille, The Tour 21 will take place across June and July and will tackle all 21 grueling stages and 3,500km of the Tour de France route - one of the world's hardest sporting challenges.
This year's Tour route will be announced in October and will see us pass through many different terrains and immense challenges - before finishing at the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
My mom, Jean, has been fighting Leukaemia for 3.5 years. She has been diagnosed as terminal and has been given a couple of months to live over and over during this period. She is still going, and still fighting. I want to raise money and ride to support her and others battles against Leukaemia.
My step son Josh, lost his friend Douglas at age 16. I want to raise money and ride in his memory.
My high school friend, Eddie has fought and beaten Leukaemia. I want to raise money and ride in honor of all those who have fought the disease.
My friend Keith rode Tour 21 in 2024 and he summed it up perfectly when he said "Riding a bicycle is hard, but fighting the disease is even harder"
