Sweat for Cancer Research UK

My Story

Far too many of my family, friends, and colleagues have been affected by cancer and even lost their lives. It is devastating. It also makes me appreciate my health more, which I often take for granted. I want to use my ability to be active and help raise money for cancer research to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. On May 28, I plan to participate in the "RideLondon-Essex" 100-mile cycling, which prompted me to do this fundraising. But until May, I will do other challenges and I welcome to be challenged! MY CHALLENGES: 1) Exercising at least as many km a month as ££ donated on this page. My current month's activity progress is shown here: https://www.strava.com/athletes/71411176 2) Cycle at least as many km in a day as ££ donated on this page. Done so far: 224 km on March 19 https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/10729462581 and 227 km on May 13 https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/11110310721 3) 100-mile trial (done on February 26) https://ej.uz/kdcy 'SPONSORED' ££-to-kilometres: 1) A 2 km walk to find the nearest geocache, sponsored by Varis (udajs_16) https://ej.uz/45mw 2) A 20 km run, sponsored by Gatis (gasha). https://ej.uz/ih74 3) ... challenge me to some kilometres! ... Please, challenge me and help raise money for life-saving cancer research! -------------------------------------------------------- Cancer Research UK is the world's largest independent cancer research organization. The organisation's work is almost entirely funded by the public. It raises money through donations, legacies, community fundraising, events, retail and corporate partnerships. They fund basic laboratory research into the molecular basis of cancer, and specific cancer types, focusing on drug discovery and development; prevention, early detection and imaging; surgery and radiotherapy; and cancers where survival rates are still low, such as oesophageal, lung and pancreatic cancers. They have discovered new ways to beat cancer that together have saved hundreds of thousands of lives across the world. --------------------------------------------------------
