My Tour De 4 Fundraiser to Fight Cancer

13 years ago my amazing wife Helen was diagnosed with breast cancer and told that it had metastasized into her bones making it incurable i.e. stage 4 cancer.

It is not untreatable of course, and for these years she has undergone a variety of surgeries and treatments while continuing to work, ride (her horse) volunteer in the Stoke Mandeville cancer unit, take an active part in a breast cancer support group and the local horticultural society as well as our drama group and transform our garden. She even runs a successful Tropic Skin Care business!

Not content with all of this she is looking for a new challenge and the Tour de 4 is that opportunity. So, on September 7th she will cycle the 60km route starting and ending at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow hoping to raise some money for Breast Cancer Now. I will be alongside her but the challenge is definitely hers as she has barely ridden a bicycle in the past 20 years!

We would welcome your support and rest assured and your contribution will make an impact. Every two or three years the treatment Helen is taking stops working and she has to start something different. The continued research and development by Breast Cancer charities like Breast Cancer Now mean that when Helen needs a new treatment one is available and as long as she can keep ahead of the curve there's no reason she couldn't be taking on new challenges for many years to come. So, whether you donate a lot or a little. Anything helps.

Thank you for your support.

Steve & Helen
