What was that famous Beatles song from Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band...................
''With a little help from my friends''
I’m undertaking in September this year from Vancouver to Mexico - 3,000 kilometres over 23 days. It's a long ride and it will be physically demanding but I love cycling and I’m fortunate to be fit and healthy and able to do it.
In the UK alone 30,000 people from new born babies to grandparents are not so lucky, being diagnosed with blood cancers – that is one person every 20 minutes! It's indiscriminate as Sue, my sister, found out 3 years ago. Sue was on a skiing holiday in France, felt very unwell and had to come home early – within a couple of days she had been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia starting a 5 month stay in hospital and 4 cycles of chemotherapy treatment – her life was turned upside down in a matter of days.
There’s no doubt that my sister's attitude to her illness played an important part in her recovery but she owes her life to the treatment advances made through research into these blood cancers.
The ride I’m undertaking is for pleasure and it’s self-funded. I’m dedicating the ride to my sister’s recovery to remission and I want to use the ride to make a contribution to the on-going funding that is necessary to improve further the number of people who achieve remission from blood cancers in the future.
I appreciate you receive a number of requests for charitable donations but I hope that my sister’s story and the challenge I’m undertaking will encourage you to make a donation to this cause. A contribution however large or small will make a difference.
There is a little more detail on my sister’s story on my JustGiving page which you can access via the link below:
Thank you for any contribution you can make to future Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research.
