Thanks for visiting Mike's Marvels 2013 fundraising page.
Over the past three years Professor Mike Dixon - renowned breast surgeon and Clinical Lead at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh – has taken part in 3 marathons with his team, Mike’s Marvels. Through Mike’s dedication and the support of those who have sponsored him or joined his team, over £55,000 has been raised for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
This year Mike is taking part in Pedal for Scotland’s event so on Sunday 8th September Mike will be cycling from Glasgow to Edinburgh, and he’d love to have a team of ‘Marvels’ to join him for the cycle and help him reach this year’s target of £20,000.
Will you or someone you know join Mike’s Marvels 2013 and cycle in Pedal for Scotland’s event on Sunday 8th September? All of the money raised will help Breakthrough continue to save lives and change futures throughout Scotland.
Bike Ride - the 47 mile Glasgow to Edinburgh event is Scotland's biggest bike ride and attracted 8000 participants last year. The route combines closed roads, quiet back roads and cycle paths with stunning countryside. It's the perfect challenge for both regular cyclists and those who haven't cycled in a while.
‘As a breast cancer surgeon I am well aware of the devastating impact that breast cancer has on thousands of women across Scotland, which is why funding Breakthrough’s work is essential. Managing breast cancer is frustrating. I know we could do better for patients if we had a better understanding of how drugs work, and why sometimes they don’t. The only way we will better understand breast cancer is to do more research. Funding our work gives me hope that we will, through research, be able to treat patients more effectively and ultimately give more of them a future without the fear of breast cancer returning.’ Professor Mike Dixon
