In April I am taking on a personal challenge: a long-distance bike ride in tribute to a couple of people and, to raise funds for pancreatic cancer research.

Last year, a very good friend of mine - Phil Taylor - succumbed to Pancreatic cancer. A man so full of life and energy - with so little chance once he found out he had Pancreatic cancer.

Then, over the last 6 months I have watched my cycle buddies Pete and Neil Shaw suffer as their father battled with it. It’s a horrible cancer with an incredibly high mortality rate.

So, a few of us are cycling from Cornwall to London (Pete & Neils dad loved Cornwall and spent a lot of time there) to raise funds. 130k in the saddle for each of 4 days in April - so it’s likely to be wet and windy! We aren’t trying to do something that kills us - but we all want to raise some funds and awareness!

Anything you can spare would be appreciated - however small!
