Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I though it was about time I did my bit for society and gave back to help a worthy cause - I've been looking for a personal challenge that will be a physical test & commitment worthy of your sponsorship money.

On 14th September, I will be cycling from London to Paris with 200 other fundraisers to raise money for Bloodwise, the blood cancer research charity.

Cancer in all of its various guises seems to be blight that's affecting more of our lives and desperately needs funds to combat it and help protect our families in the future.  

Over the past 10 years i have seen a beautiful friend pass away in her mid-thirties, and various family and friends both young and old have had to fight cancer bravely in various forms.including breast, melanoma & testicular.  

This is for them, and for my family & three children in the hope that they will never be have to take on that fight.

Whilst i am a keen cyclist, this will be the toughest challenge I've taken on - to cycle 500km over 4 days.

DAY ONE: Thursday  14 September

Eltham Palace to Calais Total distance 114.45km  | Total climb 1074m

DAY TWO: Friday 15 September

Calais to Abbeville Total distance 136.7km  | Total climb 1179m

DAY THREE: Saturday 16 September

Abbeville to Beauvais Total distance 115.3km  | Total climb 786m

DAY FOUR: Sunday 17 September

Beauvais to Paris Total distance 102km  | Total climb 948m

Thank-you for taking the time to read this and if you are able to make a financial contribution to this cause, no matter how sizeable, I and Bloodwise would very much appreciate your support.

Best wishes,

Duncan
