Research into the causes and treatments for all cancers is critically important. I lost my mother to breast cancer in 1998 and a close friend to lung cancer this year. Many other friends and family have struggled against cancer. The company I am working for, Takeda, is supporting a team of cyclists to ride from London to Paris in support of the charity Myeloma UK. This charity works to accelerate the discovery and development of effective treatments, and ultimately, to find a cure for myeloma. Please support me and the Takeda team to help cancer research.
