Thanks for supporting my fundraising. This cycling challenge is daunting, if 80 miles a day for 7 consecutive days isn't taxing enough, the thought of climbing over two times the height of Mount Everest in a week on my bike really adds a significant edge to this challenge.

However, those facing cancer don't need me to tell them about challenges and with those in mind I hope that you will be able to support my fundraising for a most worthwhile cause.

The number of people diagnosed with cancer is growing, and every one of them needs the best support to meet their unique needs.

That's why Macmillan will do whatever it takes to help everyone living with cancer across the UK get the support they need right now and transform cancer care for everyone who will be diagnosed in the future.
