Cancer seems to affect us all in one way or other - most (if not all) of us have either been diagnosed with cancer or know somebody who has. Whilst I have no direct involvement with the work of the Ark Cancer Charity and I don't live in the Hampshire area, I was inspired by their vision of a cancer treatment centre which places the latest, state of the art cancer treatment technologies in an environment designed to naturally support the healing process. 

Building such a centre requires significant resources and the Ark Cancer Charity have set themselves up to help support the centre and are aiming to raise £5 million.

By putting myself back in the saddle for 5 days of gruelling mile munching on my bike (It's nearly 4 years since my last bike tour and I've not exactly kept up the fitness since then!) I hope I can encourage you to help them meet that goal!
