Colin's 80 Miles in 5 Hours Cycle for Pancreatic Cancer Research
Colin Roberts is raising money for Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund
Story
Hi everyone! My name is Colin Roberts. I’m 77 years old, and 18 months ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease.
On 10 July 2016, I’ll be riding 80 miles in five hours on a training bike at Park Pool in Ormskirk, to raise money for Parkinson’s UK and the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund.
My daughter Lesley was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer in 2008, and died in May 2010 after a long battle.
I’ve always been a keen fundraiser: since 1988, I’ve raised money for Christie’s Hospital, the Queen’s Court Hospice, Pancratic Cancer Research and Guide Dogs for the Blind (enough to train two!)
On 17 March 2016 I raised money for Sports Relief by cycling 50 miles in three hours on the training cycle – good practice for my next challenge...
Any support or sponsorship is much appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Colin
