Story



Due to the pandemic the 2020 TDF was postponed but now in 2021 we are back, bigger and stronger than before. With approval, as UK Charity partner of the ASO who own and run the Tour de France, we are now riding the 2021 Tour de France. Starting 19 June, completing all 21 stages, we will be finishing on the Champs-Elysees on 11 July.

The summary of my challenge ;

  • 3,383KM distance (2,100 Miles – more than most people drove in 2020)
  • 41,150m vertical elevation (4.65x the height of Everest)
  • Between 5-8 hours on the bike per day for 21 days

I need you to sponsor me to achieve this fund-raising challenge. No matter what you contribute it will all go directly to saving lives as all of the costs of event are fully underwritten by sponsors Every single £ & penny from the £1m raised will go directly towards Cure Leukaemia and the 12 centres where revolutionary treatments are being trialled. 

Your donation will help save the lives of many of the 14,000 people who die every year of blood cancer and will reduce the mortality rate from its current 54% to a cure in as short as 10 years.

So please donate generously and let's leave a legacy and make a real difference to the Cure Leukaemia and the patients whose lives we will save.

Thank you

John
