My story

Last year, my father, Jose-Antonio Laguillo, a long-time Leukaemia sufferer, passed away at Hammersmith Hospital where he had been receiving exemplary care and support at their specialist facilities.

I am raising sponsorship for Leukaemia Care who provide a valuable support service for individuals, and their families, affected by Leukaemia.

On Monday, 14th September, I will begin a cycle ride from Bilbao (Spain) to Bath (England) in Dad's memory, hoping to cover something in excess of 700 miles inside 7 days. Just hope I have done my sums right!

Please join me in supporting this charity, which provides a valuable service to those currently receiving treatment for Leukaemia at Hammersmith Hospital.
