Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
When my grandson Joe Peter Holman arrived in this world on 18th December 2008 he was, along with twin brother Charlie, 3 months ahead of expectation. As if that didn't present enough challenges for Joe, Charlie and parents Sarah and Dave, Joe was diagnosed within a few short weeks with the rare eye cancer Retinablastoma in both eyes.
For over two years our family and close friends have shared in the journey Joe has made through groundbreaking chemotherapy treatments and a never ending series of visits to hospitals in London and Southampton. Today he is a happy, thriving boy but he will have to undergo regular monitoring for some years to come. In the meantime the constant support provided by CHECT to Joe and his family and friends - as well as to many others in similar situations - has been enormously helpful.
As a group of family and friends we have therefore decided to cycle from Brighton to Exeter in June to raise awareness - and funds - for CHECT. Please dig deep and help us to help others!
