Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am cycling across Britain from Land's End in Cornwall to John O'Groats in North Scotland. 14 -25 May 2012.That's only 993 miles in 12 days! And all in aid of the Bob Champion Cancer Trust.

Please support the trust ... and me.

More about the Charity

In 2000 - The Bob Champion Research Centre for Urological Cancers was opened in conjunction with the Insitute of Cancer Research - the first male dedicated cancer research facility in Europe, bringing together research expertise into prostate, testicular and bladder cancers. The Centre aims are to improve methods of detection and treatment, to identify cancer genes, and ultimately to eradicate male cancers

Now the Trust is looking to raise £1million to recruit an additional team and fund a research programme which will investigate improved diagnosis and treatment for those suffering from prostate cancer

And a big thank you to Juliette, Iona, Adair and Isla for their support, the bike clothing and much needed style advice; my mum for further bike clothing; Andries Hoekema and family for finding me a bike, bike training and Sunday breakfasts; and to my sister Alex for starting the whole thing and supplying a waterproof phone pouch! Guess she knows about British weather. Also to St. Mary's School for donating the proceeds of this year's Quiz Night to the charity and of course to everyone supporting me.
