David Chadwick , Consultant Urological Surgeon,  is undertaking a charity bike ride from London to Paris in July  . This will take place over 4 days and involves cycling 300 miles through southern England and northern France to arrive on the Champs Elysee on 25th July.  Money raised will be donated to the Cutting Edge Fund [D173]. The Fund  was set up in 2010 with the aim of bringing robotic surgery to The James Cook University Hospital. This has now been achieved with robotic surgery being used for the first time in Middlesbrough in November 2014. As a result patients with prostate cancer and other conditions are receiving state of the art minimally invasive surgery with excellent outcomes more rapid recovery times . Ongoing fundraising is required to continue to fund robotic surgery  and to further develop the service.
