We raise money to improve the lives of people affected by cancer. From funding state-of-the-art equipment and groundbreaking research, to creating the very best patient environments, we will never stop looking for ways to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.

Story

This year 3 of my relations have been diagnosed with Cancer. My Mum being the closest of these. Mum is being treated by the Royal Marsden at Chelsea, so that seems the obvious choice when I decided I'd like to do something positive and fun, whilst raising money towards helping care for and treat those unfortunate to have been diagnosed with cancer. I'm already a regular blood donor which is also a very valuable tool in the treatment of cancer.

Please be aware I am paying the full entry fee of £99 out of my own pocket, not the reduced entry fee which is topped up by the charity. I dislike the idea of sponsoring people when part of my sponsorship money goes indirectly to paying for their 'jolly', so I don't expect you to either. All of your money will go directly to The Royal Marsden.

In return I get to have a nice cycle around London at the dead of night. Please visit www.nightrider.org.uk to see what I'm taking on. This isn't just a 62 mile cycle ride. As the proud parent of 2 very young kids, and a shift worker to boot, my sleep is very valuable to me so riding through the night when I should be sleeping is also quite a sacrifice! Please give generously.
