Story

Hello everybody - thanks for taking a look at this page.

We are doing a 35km bike ride on Saturday 26th September, 2020 to raise money, for the 'Never Too Young' campaign for Bowel Cancer UK.

One year ago, my sister Lucy was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer to everybody's shock - this has had quite an impact for obvious reasons and she since has been fighting it, whilst having treatment and staying remarkably positive and strong about everything :) 

Lucy is a role model and great example of all the qualities you need to have to be a 'winner'. She is hard as nails and her attitude is second to none. 

I have wanted to do something for a while now to raise some money for BCUK - 'Never Too Young' campaign (Lucy's chosen charity). Nobody should ever have to go through this at such a young age and Luce is a shining light in showing that when faced with bad news, you need to take it and do something about it - which she (and our family and close friends) are certainly doing.

I have recruited a very talented team (nice blend of youth and experience) to do a bike ride together (or from a remote location - if unable to get to Liverpool) to ultimately raise some money for further research/treatment for those unlucky enough to experience this horrible disease.

We are just setting up one JustGiving page (for all participants to share and use). Those involved are :

JH - Ian Harris (Dad) - David Temkin (Uncle) - Adam Shiffman - Jamie Harris (running 20km over 2 days) - Paul Harris - Dan Bloomberg - Andrew Jones - Ste Rubin - Dan Winter - Paul Lister - Frank Difusco - Gino Difusco - Ken Skupski - Matthew Geey - Toby Harris - Anthony Bloch - Tanya Temkin, Arieh Temkin - Solly Temkin - Leor Temkin - Craig Donohue - Amit Juneja - Rahul Saggar - Naveen Jalota - Rob Karp - Hilary Harris (power walk month) - Trevor Harris - Alex Leventhall - Dewayne Artrey - Jordan Brookes - Alasdair Smith - Daniel Geey - Adam Lister - David Friend - Michael Friend - Richard Sleath - Phil Lodge - Tom Nelson - Ste Wheatley - Gareth Lambert - Peter Killen - David McCormick 

Please keep an eye on the page as I'll add some updates and photos on the day of the actual event.

Thanks very much for reading this and for any kind donations, that will be gratefully received.

Best

JH  (Jon Harris)
