Every year, the Sage Cycle Club at Sage UK organise a fundraising event for the companies nominated charity, which this year is Cancer Research UK. This year myself, Leigh Dobson and Perry Moore, all from the Small Business Division Finance team are working together to raise as much as possible.

In years gone by we've embarked on many challenges. We've cycled Coast to Coast, 140 miles across the Pennines from Workington to Tynemouth. Last year we toured the Sage UK offices. Riding from the Purley office in London, via the Winnersh and Manchester offices to Sage HQ in Newcastle, a massive 450 miles!

This year we're going one further, and cycling over 600 miles from the Newcastle office all the way to Paris to drop in on our French colleagues!

Everyone has been touched by cancer in some way, whether family or friends. The work CRUK do will one day mean that loved ones dying from cancer is a thing of the past.

Please dig deep, it's a great cause!
