Story

Everybody that knows me knows that other the years I have done quite a bit of Charity work in the way of Cycling, Running, MTB etc last being 100 Push'ups a day for a whole month raising money for these amazing charities always with your fantastic help.

But this event is very close to my heart.

My Eldest Daughter Lucy got cancer and thankfully to the fantastic work of cancer charities like this my daughter Lucy saw the other side and came through.

It ain't nice seeing your closest going through the suffering of Chemotherapy and all the after effects that it brings with it, she still has regular check ups and fingers cross she is still clear and leading as normal life again, but as she say's, life won't be the same again, always there in back of her mind, little twinges etc and panic sets in.

So please help me raise as much money as possible for this amazing charity.

Even though as a group we will be doing a relay for 26 hour, I aim to do a personal goal of half marathon with the relay, people who knows me I am a Mountain Biker & and not a runner .

So Please Please Please help by donating .

Thank you Very Much.

Relay For Life celebrates the power of community fundraising to make breakthroughs happen.

How does the money you raise power progress?- £65 could buy special restriction enzymes. These act like molecular scissors to cut long strands of DNA, allowing our scientists to find out more about the genes that can cause cancer.- £220 could fund our team of nine cancer nurses for one hour. Our nurse helpline offers confidential support and guidance to people affected by cancer.When you fundraise for Relay For Life, you’re helping fund research and make discoveries.
