In June 2026, I will be riding all 21 stages of The Tour 21 on behalf of Cure Leukaemia, alongside a team of dedicated amateur cyclists. Together, we will take on the full Tour de France route — one week ahead of the professionals.

Starting in Barcelona, The Tour 21 will see us tackle all 21 gruelling stages and approximately 3,500km across June and July. It’s one of the toughest endurance events in sport — and we’re doing it to help fund vital clinical trials for blood cancer patients across the globe.

In 2017 I was diagnosed with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM), a rare and incurable form of lymphoma. No one truly knows how they will respond to a life-changing—and potentially life-limiting—diagnosis. In my case, I took up cycling.

Being selected for the 2026 team is a dream come true. To ride the route of the world’s most iconic cycling event, one week ahead of the professional peloton, is the opportunity of a lifetime. But for me, it is about more than cycling. As a lymphoma patient, I have only one goal: raising as much money as I can for Cure Leukaemia. Research has already given me more time and a better quality of life. Future research will save and extend even more lives.

I am deeply grateful to be part of this extraordinary team. I cannot wait to saddle up in June 2026 for what I know will be a ride like no other. I will give it everything I have, both on the bike and off, to be a worthy teammate and, above all, to help fund the research that changes lives. My initial goal is to raise $100,000, an ambitious amount but an amount that will do so much good for so many patients. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your support.
