As a few of you already know, our amazing youngest son was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour in March last year, so I've decided to raise funds for the amazing charity that is Teenage Cancer Trust. I'm taking on the challenge of riding this years L'Etape du Tour de France in July, starting in Nice and finishing on the Col de la Couillole after 138km and 4,600m of ascent.

Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words “you have cancer”. They will each need specialised nursing care and support to get them through it. Teenage Cancer Trust are the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need – so no young person faces cancer alone.
