Cancer Research UK

Charity Registration No. 1089464

Cancer Research UK is the world's leading independent organisation dedicated to cancer research. We support research into all aspects of cancer through the work of more than 4,250 scientists, doctors and nurses. Over the past 10 years alone, thousands of lives have been saved through earlier detection and improved treatments. But, much work remains to be done if we are to achieve our aim of beating cancer.

My story

Welcome friends of Ben Davies, Saul Clay, Henry Clay and Ben Clay to the 'One Big Cycle Ride' fundraising page!

We are a merry band of four (not very good) cyclists who are going to endure two weeks of cycling hell during August 2007. Our journey will start from John 'o' Groats in the far reaches of North Scotland in mid-August. Then after 14 days and 950 painful miles we'll reach the sunny shores of Land's End in Cornwall, hopefully still able to walk.

Why are we subjecting ourselves to this level of suffering you ask???

To raise money for Cancer Research UK - so please dig deep and sponsor us online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now!

P.s. We are intending on travelling through Birmingham. We have all made a vow that should our bikes get nicked, we'll walk the rest of the way. You have our word on that.

Many thanks for your support.

Ben Clay, Henry Clay, Saul Clay & Ben Davies.

=================================================================

On Thursday 16th August, we've just arrived in Stirling. We've cycled 280 miles so far, 600 more to go...

You can follow our progress as we go, if you go to:

www.gadtag.co.uk

(And select OBCR [One Big Cycle Ride])

=================================================================

The journey was a success! On Sunday 26th August we reached Land's End after 991 miles of cycling over 14 days. It was a brilliant experience, although none of us will be rushing to jump on a bike again anytime soon!

We'd like to thank everyone that has made a donation to Cancer Research. Thank you for your support.

Ben, Henry, Saul & Ben.
