Cancer and Polio Research Fund's mission is to save lives by ending the threat of secondary cancers, the cause of two thirds of all cancer deaths. It has discovered a family of genes responsible for the formation of secondary cancers and is now researching into how to stop the action of these genes

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

As you know in the past our family has felt the effects of both Cancer and Polio and we feel blessed that we have come through these diseases pretty well. We are grateful for the work done by the Cancer and Polio Charities and felt that we really had to support them and give back a little something to say Thank You.

This bike ride also gave us the opportunity to come out of our comfort zone and challenge ourselves to achieve something pretty amazing in a wonderful part of the world. We have started training slowly but steadily and hope to get as fit as we can so we can enjoy our trip without too much pain. (I am really hoping that the hills are very gentle ones and any wind is always behind us!!)
