My story

Welcome to The Blazing Saddles! We are Henry Brydon and Jamie King, and on the 3rd May 2010 we began an epic bike adventure from London to Sydney, cycling 35,000km through 30 countries in roughly two years. In doing this, I hope to raise a significant sum of money for Brain Tumour Research, a charity I feel very passionate after my brotrher was diagnosed in 2002.  Thankfully he survived.  I am eager to do what I can to provide exposure and raise money for a charity that desperately needs more money to fund vital research for a disease that claims more young lives than any other cancer.

You can follow our progress on www.TheBlazingSaddles.com

Please support this very worthwhile cause.

 

 

My charity

Brain Tumour Research

Brain Tumour Research

Charity Registration No. 1093411

In the UK more children and people under 40 die of a brain tumour than any other cancer and yet it receives less than 1% of national cancer research spending. Our goal is to raise funds to accelerate progress in UK brain tumour research, make a clinical difference and improve patient outcomes.
