The Route 2027
29th July 2027 - 7th August 2027
Experiencing close family members and friends be diagnosed with cancer, totally unexpectedly, (cancer is non discriminatory), is very distressing and comes with a sense of powerlessness for those around.
You can support, be there for them, but they alone have to fight the disease.
In an attempt to take some power back I am taking on this challenge. I intend to raise money which will go to Cure Leukemia directly to fund ways to cure children, who so early in their lives, should not have to, but are facing a cancer journey.
I will embark on 9 days of cycling next summer, starting in the UK (3 days) and then 6 days in France. The route has been designed to test the best female cyclists in the world to their limits.
It will be a challenging, demanding journey of highs and lows, metaphorically and literally. The biggest test I have given myself. But nothing in comparison to the journeys all cancer patients have to travel.
My goal will be to finish, to cross the line, to 'ring that bell' so that the money raised will be available to support many children with Leukemia to ring their bell.
Please donate if you can.
The Route sees a team of extraordinary women take The Tour de France Femmes avec ZWIFT – one day ahead of the professionals.
Established in 2024, with a trailblazing team of 5 women, the event has grown to our biggest ever team in 2026, with 21 women from all over the world taking on the challenge.
Funds raised by The Route are vital to support children battling blood cancer, with funds raised helping to accelerate the opening of the ATICUS Network – which will be the world’s first national infrastructure dedicated to paediatric stem-cell transplant trials.
