Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Hi all, next week I’ll be joining the Ashby family on my uncle Martin’s charity cycle ride for Cancer Care from Lands End to John O’ Groats.
I was 8 years old when Martin was first diagnosed with cancer at the age of 30, he was a fit rugby player with a young family and throughout his long battle in 1985, the charity Cancer Care in Lancaster played a huge part in supporting him throughout his illness and recovery. Years later he was diagnosed again with a different form of testicular cancer and again came through it. Over the past 30 years Martin’s raised thousands of pounds for the charity and to tie in with his 60th birthday in 2 weeks time he’s riding again from Lands End to John O’ Groats with the aim of raising £5000, taking the total raised for this amazing charity to £50,000.
I’m joining Martin on the ride from Ross-On-Wye to Morecambe, 2 days of pedalling for 190 miles and am aiming to contribute to Martin’s total by raising £200. The Cancer Care charity in Lancaster and Kendal relies on fund raising and private donations, I would really like to reach my target, and make sure that the charity continues to thrive in the local area.
If you could spare a fiver or even a few pounds that would be great, anything you can donate would be brilliant.
Martin is a father, husband, grandfather and an inspirational uncle to me. I feel proud to be helping him raise money for such a great cause and thank you for reading this.
