Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On December 18th 2008 our two little boys Joe and Charlie came into this world 3 months early.  Sadly Joe was diagnosed with a very rare form of eye cancer called Bilateral Retinoblastoma whilst still pre-term.  He has undergone many examinations under anaethetic and has been treated with 3 month course of chemotherapy from 38 weeks and a second brand new intra-arterial version when he was 18 months old.  CHECT has been a great support to us thoughout this difficult time right from the moment we heard the news of his diagnosis.

Joe is doing really well and continues to grow into a happy little boy.  If you would like to see more of the charity and our family please watch the BBC Lifeline programme that was aired in March and is now on YouTube at the following link...

For me, I am doing this ride to raise money for this charity that has been able to support my family.  I would like to raise awareness of children's eye cancer and also do this ride for my little boy, Joe.
