I’ve ridden the Ride London 100 a few times before, but Alison has only ever completed the 46 mile option.
This year we will both ride the 100, in memory of my son Harry Fuller who lost his battle against bowel cancer in January this year, only 5 months after his diagnosis, at the age of just 27.
Harry enjoyed cycling from London to Paris with me in 2013 and I’d always hoped this would be the first of many cycling adventures we could share. Sadly this will now never be.
Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the uk and one that is devastating lives in a growing number of younger people - this is something that needs to change.
Although it is the fourth most common in the uk – it is also second biggest cancer killer in the uk. Yet it needn’t be.. With early diagnosis it can be easily treatable – which is why research and awareness for this disease is so important.
Many people and healthcare professionals are not aware of the symptoms of bowel cancer, and are not aware of bowel cancer as a disease younger people can develop… Leading to one of the bowel cancer uk slogans stating “Never too young".
Please help and sponsor as much as you can for such a worthy cause, in great need of vital funding.
Thank you , Nigel and Alison x
