From 19th to 24th September I will be cycling over 4 days nearly 500km from Pisa to Rome for to raise funds Myelmoa UK.

We will have an iconic start at The Leaning Tower of Pisa, through the Piazza del Campo in Siena and entering Rome in one huge peloton, before heading on to the Vatican with the finish line at the Colosseum.

The event has been organised by a great friend Bob Munro, who has shown resilience over the last 10 years in his battle against Myeloma. A 500km cycle is a mere patch on the journey Bob has battled through.

Bob’s been fortunate to ride the explosion in new Myeloma drugs which have kept him in the game for the past 10 years. The R&D for these drugs has been massively accelerated by patient inspired fund raising, such as Bob’s London Paris Ride, and numerous family & friend’s events, which funnel money into Myeloma UK’s Clinical Trials and Advocacy work.

By January 2022 Bob had exhausted all the licensed drugs but was lucky enough to get on a trial for a completely new experimental class of drug. The results have been spectacular, smashing his Myeloma to the lowest levels since diagnosis. Proof, if ever you needed it, of the value of research, clinical trials and the fund raising that helps make it possible.
