We're dedicated to beating blood cancer. We fund research and support those affected. Since 1960, we've invested over £500 million in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives. The day we beat blood cancer is now in sight and our researchers are determined to finish the job.

Story

<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I will be joining Kinetic&rsquo;s 5 Annual charity cycle challenge which will be taking on the longest day classic Milan to San Remo. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Being the longest professional one-day race at 298km, Milan &ndash; San Remo is an unusual test of endurance, with climbing </span><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">sections as steep as 10% taking us to 532m above sea level. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Our chosen charity is Leukaemia &amp; Lymphoma Research which </span><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">is the only UK charity solely dedicated to research into blood cancers, including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And anything I raise above &pound;1,500 is going to go to the Garden House Hospice - a wonderful organisation, full of angels that helped care for both my Dad and my Uncle. They rely on donations to function, so anything going to them really does make a huge difference. </span></p> <p><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As you can see this is a tough challenge and it&rsquo;s for 2 great causes, so please dig deep and donate&hellip;&hellip; </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> Thanks, C</span></p>
