Story
8 riders are pedalling from Hythe, Kent to Paris. We are raising money for the stem cell charity Anthony Nolan.
One of our friends, and keen bike rider, Mike has been receiving stem cell transplants to treat his Leukemia.
Mike's recent treatment demonstrates the excellent work the Anthony Nolan charity does in promoting the the stem cell donor register and researching stem cell treatments.
One of our riders, Rich, was a stem cell donor a couple of years ago a few days before we rode the cobbles of Flanders!
We will be riding via the Newhaven/Dieppe ferry, and the riders will be covering all their own costs so every penny you donate will go to this fantastic charity.
The 8 riders are:
* Ben Geering
* Alex Williams
* Rich Prout
* Jack Morgan
* Ben Morgan
* Pawel Martyniuk
* Andy Lewsey
* John Earnshaw
Support Driver
* Lawrence Eke

Anthony Nolan’s world-leading stem cell register, groundbreaking cell and gene therapy research and expertise in stem cell transplants means we currently help four patients a day in need of a transplant, giving more people another chance to live. But we know we can, and must, do more. Driven by patients, backed by stem cell donors, powered by science, and with your support, we won’t stop until we’ve uncovered the lifesaving potential of the cells inside us all, and every patient can survive and thrive.
