Peloton - Raising Money for Jack Brown
Fundraising for Jack Brown Appeal - The 2Simple Trust
Story
A team of riders from Peloton Capital are going to ride a bike on the California Coast from Monterrey to Santa Barbara in an effort to raise money and awareness for the Jack Brown appeal (see below). We would greatly appreciate your support in our endeavor to help this young 5 year old boy survive from brain cancer. Raising money for his care is his only chance of survival.
Jack Brown is an English 5 year old boy suffering rare childhood cancer, neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma is a solid tumour cancer which spreads rapidly. Recurrence after treatment is currently considered non-curative in the UK. However, a ground breaking procedure at Memorial Sloane Kettering Cancer Centre in New York has shown a success rate of 100% so far, with no signs of a relapse in over 10 cases. The procedure offered at Sloane Kettering is young Jack's only chance of survival. It is expensive - $750,000 is needed for his treatment. Jack's parents are both detectives with Scotland Yard and have recently relocated their family to New York to be closer to Sloane Kettering. To learn more about Jack brown, please visit www.jackbrownappeal.org. We hope you will be moved by his story and contribute whatever you can to help.
The riders include:
Geoff and Annette Grant
Ron Beller
Bill Gilbert
Perry & Ida Parker

Stephen Duneier
Steve Lisenby
Ed & Betsy O'Reilly
