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.

Being selected to be part of the 2026 team brings mixed feelings of excitement and great nervousness as I start to prepare for the ride. The excitement comes from knowing that I’m not just challenging myself physically, but I’m also riding for something much bigger—supporting the fight against leukemia and being part of a community of riders who are all in this together. At the same time, the nerves are there, too—facing a challenge like this is daunting, especially when you know how hard it will be. But I know that with every pedal stroke, I’m not only pushing myself, I’m also supporting those who need it most. It’s a humbling yet empowering feeling, and I’m looking forward to meeting the team, hearing their experiences fighting the disease, and tackling the ride!
