My wife Sally has been treated for leiomyosarcoma at the Royal Marsden Hospital, Chelsea, for over 10 years now. The fantastic staff there have made the last 10 years possible by helping her through three operations and four microwave ablations, the latest of which used robotic guidance that would not have been possible at other hospitals. Sally is currently undergoing her third different type of chemotherapy.

I would like to thank the staff by raising as much money as possible to support their incredible work and to help fund the vital research that is conducted by the hospital.

In a break from our previous cycling exploits, Nick and I are taking on the challenge of a marathon length walk through the South Downs from Brighton to Eastbourne on 3rd May. Any support that you can offer us through sponsorship would be greatly appreciated for this amazing cause.

Thank you! Richard
