The work of Cancer Research UK really did impact so positively on Philip's life at a time when every day counted. With continued investment in research I'm confident that we will see a day when cancer is beaten.

So this year's challenge is to cycle with mad friends Jon n Karen, from Marble Arch to the Arc de Triomphe. A journey of almost 300 miles over 4 days, with the first day being the longest at 90 miles from London to Dover.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
