<p><span style="color: #000000;"><em><span><strong>One year ago while I was undergoing radiotherapy treatment for cancer, the idea of a bike ride from Gibraltar back to the UK gave me great strength and enabled me to focus on a firm goal.</strong></span></em></span></p>
<p><strong><em>On the 21st of August 2011 I headed down to Gibraltar with my cycling buddy John Donoghue to start our 'ROCK2UK' ride. The trip was a tough one with extremely hot weather in Spain and very wet and windy weather during the last days of the ride up through Northern France</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>After all the help I received with my treatment and recovery I wanted to give something back, 'Cyclists Fighting Cancer' (CFC) has enabled me to do this.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>CFC is a charity whose purpose is to provide bikes, adapted tricycles and equipment to children and young people whose lives have been affected by cancer.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>You will be able to read about our preparations </em></strong><strong><em>and progress on the ride itself by going to my blog at<a title="puprletraveller" href="http://www.purpletraveller.blogspot.com">#mce_temp_url#</a> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>I love cycling and I am positive that it made a big difference to my recovery.....together I am sure that we can make an even bigger difference for children and young people who have been affected by cancer.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Please help me with this really worthwhile cause..........</em></strong></p>
