Story

Last year on the 17th June 2023 we sadly lost the amazing Lucie Simpson after her ongoing battle over the past 2 years with breast cancer.

In 2022 I started this cycle after Lucie was first diagnosed with breast cancer. Watching Lucie go through this and all of the treatment was quite a helpless feeling for me, no matter how much I wanted to, there was nothing I could do to change what she was going through.

But I wanted to do something; raise as much money to support Guys Cancer Charity who have done some amazing work. Lucie's treatment at Guy's was amazing and the facilities and people were second to none.

Guy's have also been a huge support network for myself as well and have made this incredibly emotional experience that bit easier and I can never thank them enough.

So what am I doing this time round to ask for your money?

On the 1st June we will be holding the Tour De Luce in Richmond Park for anyone to come and cycle, run, walk, skip, hop jump etc. I will obviously be doing my usual of cycling as much as my legs will allow over the course of the day; aiming for 150 - 200km. As usual I will be joined by my trusty Tour De Luce cycling team from the previous 2 years.

This year I would like to encourage anyone to come and take part and see some friendly faces all raising money for a great cause.

Any donations big or small are all welcomed in Lucie's memory, and will help the fantastic work of Guy's.

With all our services located under one roof within our bright and welcoming Cancer Centre, we’re able to offer seamless care every step of the way, from diagnosis, through treatment, and after, in an environment that doesn’t feel like a traditional hospital. We know that the landscape of cancer is changing. More people are being affected, but we’re at an exciting point in time when promising new therapies are being developed and research breakthroughs are waiting to be made. It’s crucial that we continue to fund the innovative research, treatment and exceptional care that takes place at Guy’s to ensure we keep going above and beyond what the NHS alone can provide as we help more people cope with and survive cancer.
