My story

My brother and I and my friend Paul are planning to cycle around the island of Sjælland in Denmark (around 260 miles) over the period of 5 days in September 2012, to support the Leukaemia and Lymphoma research charity.

Blood cancer has affected my family, firstly taking my Grandad's life with CML, then my Gran with Lymphoma, now my 3 year old son William has AML TYPE M7. He was first diagnosed in Feb 2011 and was treated with Chemotherapy at the Royal Marsden in Sutton until June 2011. Unfortunately he relapsed over Xmas. He has since had 3 courses of Chemotherapy again at the Marsden Sutton and is due a bone marrow transplant in April/ May 2012. Though I wish I could cure this horrible disease, I know this is beyond me, though I can support the people who can make a difference with financial support. Please support me in my quest to help find a cure for this horrendous disease in the only way we can - with a donation to a leading charity.

So it was hard work, but we managed to crack it ok. Certainly William's pain was a constant reminder and driving force for me when things were tough. Thank you so much for the kind donations. I am really chuffed to have cracked £10000 and I'm sure the charity will use it well.

The trip was pretty hard going especially on the Friday where we were cycling directly into very strong winds and rain (The winds were seen to be blowing trees down around Denmark).

We completed the 260 Miles ride between Thurs 13th & Monday 17th September. There are Photos + GPS positioning of where they were taken on my Twitter page https://twitter.com/JamesLyne1
