This is more than two children and young people every single week; quite an alarming statistic!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>Thanks to the research over the last 25 years and continuous improvement in therapy, almost 75% of these cancers can now be cured</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">This Cycle ride is being completed in memory of a special young lady from Egremont called Danica Maxwell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Danica had battled brain tumours for 12 months before losing her fight on December 22, her bravery was typified by her own words that were read out at her funeral service, &ldquo;They say I was a gifted and talented person, but I was just me. I loved my life and always gave 100 per cent. It was short but I had no complaints.&rsquo;&rsquo;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Please support the ride and perhaps our fundraising can help prevent the loss of another special person. </span></p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
