Both myself and Vic have decided to participate in this event to mark the 10 year anniversary of our fathers' passing who was taken from us on 10/12/2002 after lengthy battles with various forms of cancer.
The years have passed rapidly, and although much has changed since then, there is always a moment when we can look back at the past with happy memories.

The reason we have entered this particular event  is because it is organised by the Macmillan charity who were helpful to our family at a difficult time. For those that are not aware, this charity provide practical, medical and financial support to sufferers and their families and push for better cancer care.

Therefore we feel that this charity is a worthy cause.

To mark the occasion we have therefore decided to challenge ourselves in an appropriate and rewarding manner by cycling from London to Paris next July.
I just about manage to cycle the 5 miles to work and back 4 days a week (never on a Friday!), whilst Vic has just come off her stabilisers :p I'm hoping they give us a map or Vic can follow me so we end up in the right country!

Hopefully you will agree that this will be a big challenge for both of us, but one that we are prepared to sacrifice a lot of time and effort for through training and fundraising.

It would be greatly appreciated not just by myself and Vic, but our whole family and of course the Macmillan charity if you were kind enough to donate any amount of change you could spare, no matter how small, to assist us in reaching our goal.
No doubt we have a challenge ahead, but the thought of finishing at the foot of the Eiffel Tower after months of training and hard work will be extra motivation for this worthy cause.
