Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am taking part in the Prudential Bike Ride in the Super C team, in memory of my Grandpa, Derek Watkins. He was a great source of inspiration to me and my hero. He was a world class musician, and you can still hear his music being played everyday, leaving behind a remarkable legacy.

He bravely fought this disease for two years, and was determined to finish the soundtrack for the James Bond film 'Skyfall', just a few weeks before he died on 22nd March 2013. 

Sarcoma UK are battling to improve earlier diagnosis and increase awareness of the signs of Sarcoma, so that more people can survive. Please help by sponsoring me, in memory of an amazing man and to help others who are fighting Sarcoma.

Thank you
