Simon was a keen cyclist, and post-diagnosis in 2013, a good cycle was his equivalent to counselling. He rode to many of his appointments at the BRI in Bristol from Chippenham, which was always recorded in the oncologist’s notes because it was so unusual.
My friend Brian Walker had the idea of a cycle in Simon's memory. Over two days a group of us will cycle from Solihull - near where Simon was from - to Chippenham. 210km. Some of us are able cyclists - some of us...aren't really (me!).
The team, including support team:
- Keith Brockway
- Angela Calvert
- Jon Calvert
- Claire Coverley
- Paul Darby
- Gemma Durnell
- Ian Durnell
- Manish Jadeja
- Emma Williams
- Lotti Jadeja
- Sheryl Harrop
- Fiona Lambert
- Liz Marchant
- David Oldacres
- Pauline Oldacres
- Sophie Oldacres
- Fraser Reid
- Colin Stewart
- Jo Stewart
- Brian Walker
Brain tumours are the leading cause of cancer death in children and in adults under 40 - yet brain tumour research receives less than 1% of national cancer funding.
