Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 4 December, I am leading a small team on a gruelling 1,000km bike ride from Vietnam to Cambodia to raise £75,000 for The Lewis Moody Foundation. Why? The money we raise will help fund the crucial HeadSmart campaign and this tweet by mum Claire Lloyd says it all,  "Tuesday noon I saw the HeadSmart website and by lunchtime my son's tumour had been found and he'd had surgery to relieve the hydrocephalus.Thank you from the bottom of our hearts - that information saved his life".

The route takes in steep mountain climbs up to 1,500 metres above sea level, dense jungles and remote temples, in humid conditions and high temperatures so it will be a real challenge. Each team member needs to raise over £3,000 and 100% of all donations made go to The
Foundation. 

Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children, with one child dying every 3 days. Please sponsor me if you can to help HeadSmart raises awareness of the signs and symptoms of brain tumours in children - early diagnosis can save lives.

Huge thanks to everyone at Y.CO for their continuous support: http://y.co

Thank you in advance for your generosity. Al
