Story
We have formed a new Doncaster based charity with the primary aim of raising money for research into ALK positive lung cancer. Our inspiration was shockingly diagnosed with lung cancer in May 2016 aged just 17. About 50% of ALK positive lung cancer patients are diagnosed before 50, with many in their 30s and 20s. ALK positive lung cancer is on the increase worldwide, typically affected females who have never smoked.
Lung cancer is the most common cancer in the UK and worldwide yet receives the least government funding, despite killing more people every year than breast, prostrate and bowel cancer combined.
Please donate and support us if you can because if you have lungs you and your loved ones are at risk of lung cancer.

Thank you to all the incredible cycling team and all you generous supporters. We have loads of fundraising ideas for next year charity comedy evening May 2021, cricket day, golf day, the annual September cycle of course and November Ball to celebrate lung cancer awareness month. If anyone wants to fundraise for us doing a challenge of their own that would be amazing. We've also got some face masks in production courtesy of Cat Gibbard - watch this space!
