Story

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>180 miles in 24 hours?</strong></span></p> <p>My great mate Henry O'Lone was diagnosed with Bone Cancer almost 6 years ago. The type of Bone Cancer he had was known as Osteosarcoma and is extremely rare with only 200 cases diagnosed each year.</p> <p>Fortunately Henry is still with us but only after a very traumatic time and losing his right arm. Unfortunately, almost 50% of those diagnosed do not survive and this is why I want to raise some <strong>&pound;&pound;&pound; </strong>to help improve awarenss, fund research and help more patients fight this horrible cancer.</p> <p>Besides, it's about time I did something useful (many of you will agree)!</p> <p>.... So my challenge is to cycle <strong>180 miles from London to Lincolnshire in 24 hours!</strong> It will be a proper mission and tough cycling through the night (I am told it is all up hill!)</p> <p>All proceeds raised will go to <strong>The Bone Cancer Research Trust</strong>, a charity providing funding for reasearch into primary bone cancer, support to patients and raising awareness (amazingly I'd never heard of Bone Cancer until Henry had it).</p> <p>I will be leaving London 7pm Friday 20th April and hopefully arrive North Lincolnshire by 7pm Saturday 21st April in time for steak and chips.</p> <p>If you can help me reach my target of <strong>&pound;2,000 </strong>that would be amazing.</p> <p><strong>Thank you all!</strong></p> <p><strong>Freddie </strong></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
