My story

Well we did it !

We finally rolled in to Liverpool at 12.30pm Sunday 11th May after 127.25 miles, a couple of punctures, and 2 mild hangovers later

A huge huge 'Thank you' to everyone who sponsored us and showed support, we feel proud to have done our bit for the MCF - Team Optident comprised of John Maloney, Tim Butterfield,  James Fowler, Richard Walker, Steven Hepton, Rob Bridgewater and Rebecca Fowler together with dentists Philip Broughton and Alastair MacDonald

There is still plenty of time to donate if you havent yet, please help us get to our target , we appreciate your help

The Statistics for Mouth Cancer are frightening. In the UK, there were 7,697 cases in 2004. The mortality rate is just over 50%, despite treatment, with 2,718 deaths occurring in 2005. Mouth Cancer kills one person every 3 hours in the UK because of late detection.

An increasing number of young people are being affected, 25% of the cases have no associated significant risk factors. yet this still seems to be a 'forgotten' cancer with little awareness.

Please lets all help raise some increased awareness and generate funds for this worthy organisation

The team includes the following:

We will cycle 127 miles over a 3 day period 9-11 May on the Leeds to Liverpool Canal

We would like to thank the following Dental Practices for their involvement and support
