The name Kaleigh Grainger is known to many unicyclists and jugglers around the world. She is one of the UK's top freestyle unicycle riders and the daughter of Steve Grainger, who organises most of the UK's "Uni-meet" events. However, what most people won't know is that Kaleigh's Mother, Elaine, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer several years ago and has been battling Cancer ever since. On the 11th of December,2004, Kaleigh informed us that her mother had been taken into hospital again with Secondary Cancer of the Liver. Sadly, her mother died shortly after on the 19th December, 2004.

Before her mother died, Kaleigh said that she wanted to try and help other people in the same situation, hoping that she could help ease the suffering of Cancer patients and their families in the future. She asked for help in raising money for Cancer Research UK.

So we are.... On the 7th January Roger Davies from Unicycle.com will be riding some 750 miles from Nanning to Kunming in Southern China. The ride will be self-financed by Roger and is organised by Roz Beste from Hong Kong. It will be completed on a 36" Coker unicycle both on and off-road.
