Last year Kilimanjaro, this year London to Paris Bike Ride .! !
The participants have changed, but the very worthy cause is the same: One of our colleagues, Matthew Baldwin (aka Chippy) sadly lost his life to Brain Cancer in October '09, a tragic loss for someone of 35 years old. We have dedicated ourselves to raising monies for the funding of specific student research posts at UCLH - Research which is already extending the life expectancy of sufferers of this terrible disease.
Anyone that heard Matthew's surgeon, Dr Paul Mulholland, speak last year, would be humbled by the advances that are being made by this research .
I doubt that anyone from this bunch of intrepid Icappers will be Olympic hopefuls, but they deserve your sponsorship for their 305 mile exertions.
The L2P team is made up of: John Herbert, Trish Hogan, Jon Crallan, Mark Azzopardi, David Pearson, Megan Anderson, Meagan Birch, Gareth Carr and Rachael Little
Thanks in advance - we'll keep you updated of our progress/punctures/grazed knees!
