Story
Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page!
On the 9th June 2014, I am cycling from Leeds to Berlin along with another group of students from the University of Leeds, to raise money for the Laura Crane Youth Cancer Trust.
The ride is 550 miles long and will take 8 days.
The cycle starts through the Yorkshire countryside to Hull, taking an overnight ferry to Rotterdam, then cycling for two days across the Netherlands before crossing the border into Germany. Five days is then spent cycling east towards Berlin to arrive at the Brandenburg Gate.
· The Laure Crane Youth Cancer Trust is the only UK charity funding medical research specifically into cancer affecting teenagers and young adults.
The Trust also funds measures to improve the quality of life for young cancer patients, both during and in the aftermath of their illnesses. Cancer is the most common cause of non-accidental death in teenagers and adults in the UK. Every single day in the UK, 6 young people aged between 13 and 24 will be told that they have cancer. Support is offered to all of the hospitals throughout the UK which treat teenage cancer.
Here is a link which takes you directly to the homepage of the charity http://www.lauracranetrust.org/.
We don't mind suffering burning thighs and blisters for this amazing cause, so any donations are welcome and really appreciated! Please, Please donate! :)
