I was recently diagnosed with an aggressive secondary cancer in my neck, the primary in my tongue. Maggie's is an inspiring building to me before, I'd photographed it and was amazed and inspired by them as a charity... a year later I walked into the building as an outpatient! 

Maggie's will offer me sanctuary and solace during the challenging months ahead. A chance to learn, share and listen to like-minded souls, fighters and valued people. 

I will be doing various other projects too, as a way of keeping myself busy, motivated and by way of saying big thank you.

My first fundraising adventure starts with the "Maggie's to Maggie's", bike ride on Sunday 10th June, where young Henry Barlow will be riding on my behalf from Barts, London to Maggie's (Churchill Hospital) Oxford, approx 120kms!

I initially wanted to raise £600, but we've smashed that already, here's to much more, to help with the daily running of Maggie's Oxford.

GOOD LUCK Henry, and many thanks to ALL. X

☆UPDATE☆

Henry completed the 70+ miles in 5 hours, was in good spirits on completion, just feeling a little bit hot and sweaty! 

Brilliant job to ALL who took part, huge thanks to Pip and the race organisers who looked after everyone so well.
