Story
We (Paddy Rogers and Archie Dawson) are are joining a team of 30 or so other riders and embarking on a 600 mile bike ride from London to Berlin in order to raise money for Alex Smith's vital immunotherapy treatment. He was diagnosed with grade 4 Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) brain cancer just over a year ago, and has since experienced a rollercoaster of potential treatments and a resulting emotions. After a number of operations and radiotherapy, Alex is now undergoing a pioneering course of immunotherapy at a German Clinic. This treatment offers a serious hope of controlling if not beating the cancer. A recent scan has shown that the tumour has not regrown since the last surgery. This is brilliant news and shows just how life-changing the treatment has proved to be for him and could be for others. Whilst not yet available in the UK, the treatment is a pioneering study. It is however hugely expensive and all donations will go directly to Alex's cause to help develop the treatment. Hopefully, we’ll see this treatment open itself up to more patients in the future….
We have taken to training nearly every day of the week, be that cycling to work or lapping Richmond Park. The ride will be difficult, but it is a minuscule sacrifice for the benefit of those less fortunate. We set off for at the end of May for a week of, in the wise-words of Mr Dawson, "Saddle-sodomy". Thank you in advance for your generosity.
