Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For anyone who knows me, will know that I have wanted to do something like this for a long time.  An amazingly well organised, challenging event, to a beautiful location, with amazing people and for an incredible charity - Myeloma UK.

As many of you know, cancer has struck very close to home in recent years.  Thankfully Joseph (now a fine, energetic 6 year old!) is in complete remission, for which we are eternally grateful.  I would like for other families to be as fortunate as we are.

Myeloma UK is the only organisation in the UK dealing exclusively with myeloma – their ultimate goal is to find a cure.  Patients come first in everything they do, and they are dedicated to ensuring that myeloma patients live longer and with the best possible quality of life.  They are focused on directing investment into strategic, patient centred research that offers the best chance of significantly improving outcomes for myeloma patients.  The organisation funds research from the laboratory bench to the patient’s bedside. This is delivered through strategic partnerships in three main areas of research: Translational Research, the Myeloma UK Clinical Trial Network and a programme of Health Services Research.

Myeloma UK receives no government funding and relies almost entirely on voluntary donations and fundraising events like our London Paris Ride.  You can help make myeloma history.  If you are unable to take part but want to support us (the riders!) and the work of Myeloma UK, you can use this page to make a donation and leave a message of support.  To find out more about our ride and to watch videos from our 2018 ride visit: www.myeloma.org.uk/ride or follow #hopeonabike on social media.

Thank you and god bless!
