<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">In March 2012 I will be joining thirty other cyclists to pedal over the Andes from Argentina to Chile, finishing at the Pacific Ocean.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">We are raising much needed funds for The Urology Foundation (TUF) - a cause which I thoroughly support.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">TUF urgently need funds to support research into the causes of and cures for prostate, bladder, kidney and testicular cancers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It also provides funds to train young clinicians in the very latest techniques of robotic, laparoscopic and laser surgery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m hoping to avoid the need for such treatment, even though I have prostate cancer myself, but one day any one of us may be glad that TUF has helped find better ways to treat serious urological conditions.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">The trip promises to be tough, so please do support me and the rest of the team as we struggle up the Argentinian side of the Andes and hurtle down the other side, off road, into Chile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every penny you give will go straight to TUF as all of the riders are self-funded for the trip.</span></p>
