We pioneer life-saving cancer research to help us beat cancer

Story

 

Aged 18 with 3 months away from education, responsibilities and plans, perfect time to have a once in a life time trip for an amazing cause in an amazing place. From no experience to attempting to complete a huge physical challenge in the hope to raise awareness and money, but also to inspire.

I am going to cycle the length of the west coast of America unsupported carrying all the equipment and survival gear I will need. I will be totally self supported, camping where I need to, carrying water and food to insure that I can continue pedalling on. I will do this within 3 months, starting at the Canadian boarder and travelling to the boarder at Mexico.

I will be completing this challenge in support of Cancer Research UK. A charity that is the world's largest independent cancer research charity that conducts research into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease. I personally have had family and friends have cancer but I hope to do this not just for me, but for everyone else who has been affected by the disease.

I hope my trip raises money and awareness for the charity as well as being an amazing experince for me which I hope to share with as many people as I can. This will take many hours of hard work and planning but it should be all worth it at the end. Amazing memories and money to help others.

Help to beat cancer.

Together we will beat cancer.
