I'm joining the "Dawn2dusk" epic 100 mile cycling challenge from Winchester to Bristol Channel on 22nd June in support of our local charity, PLANETS.

This ride is all about bringing together a wide, multidisciplinary team of staff, patients and their friends and families, to fundraise for all aspects of cancer care.

If you feel able to support this worthy cause, please do give what you can. Every pound donated will spur me on through the training and the event itself!

A little bit more about PLANETS:

PLANETS helps patients with pancreatic, liver, colorectal, gastric, oesophageal and neuroendocrine cancer by funding patient support groups, well being initiatives, innovative treatments and research. Since 2011 we have raised more than £1,900,000!

PLANETS is more than just another local cancer charity, it is a motivating and unifying force that is changing the way that we approach the fight against cancer across the central south coast of England. Our aim is not just to save lives but also to enrich them in the process by helping the “whole team” to focus together on our shared goals.

In the current, cost-cutting NHS environment, research and innovation is in danger of being side lined. PLANETS aim is to ensure that patients across our region and further afield still have access to the best available care.
