Story

<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></strong></p> <p>Eight&nbsp;years ago, I cycled from Land's End to John O'Groats for Cancer Research, and I vowed I'd never do another ride again!</p> <p>However, two years ago my wife, Sallie, had Breast Cancer which was right out of the blue and had it not been for a routine medical, it may not have been detected in time. I am pleased to say she has been given the all clear. I continue to be amazed by any ladies' ability to cope with the trauma and treatment.</p> <p>One thing that became apparent to me was the fact that breast cancer now affects <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">one in nine </span></strong>ladies and in my opinion much more research is needed to help eliminate this dreadful disease.</p> <p>That is why she has ordered me on my bike again!</p> <p>I&nbsp;am cycling from Donaueschingen (Black Forest, Germany)&nbsp;to Vienna with my good friend Geoff Prince and my son, Craig,&nbsp;starting on 16th June and finishing the <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">800+ miles </span></strong>in Vienna on 24th June. I hope to raise lots of money for this worthy cause and every pound raised will be going to Breast Cancer research at <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Cancer Research UK</span></strong>.</p> <p>If you want to follow me on <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Twitter</strong></span> I will be updating the ride daily: <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/swan_chris">http://twitter.com/#!/swan_chris</a></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">So dig deep and donate now! (Please!!!)</span></strong></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">All the best,</span></p> <p>Chris</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
