My Story
My brother Ray sadly died in 2016 while undergoing treatment for cancer. Shortly before his diagnosis he had also lost his partner to cancer. After his death, his daughter told me Ray had been hoping to do a charity cycle ride, inspired by the care his partner had received, but had taken ill himself before he was able to. This prompted me, in a moment of madness, to say "Well I will do a ride instead". Time passed and I did nothing about it. Last year our mum died. She had been a local fundraiser for Cancer Research for over 30 years and I was so touched by the lovely handwritten letter I received from their local fundraising team thanking us for all her hard work that I finally got my act together, my bum on my bike and applied for a place in the Prudential Ride London 2020 event. So please support me in my efforts to raise money for a charity that is working to end cancer, a disease that affects so many families in so many ways.
