Hi Everybody,

This year I am riding with my good friend John and (hopefully) Sir Chris Hoy in the Tour de 4 charity bike ride up in Glasgow.

I'm raising money for EGFR Positive UK that targets a very specific type of cancer that afflicts my friend John and many others.

EGFR stands for epidermal growth factor receptor. EGFR is protein involved in the growth and division of healthy cells. For some sufferers there is a mutation (or damage) to the gene coding for this protein which means it can be significantly over expressed.

An EGFR mutation is the most common mutation for which there are treatments available. These new treatments, which are called targeted therapies, work directly on the lung cancer cells which express the mutation. Great progress has been made in the last decade in treating EGFR lung cancer.

Your contribution will make an impact to EGFR research whether you donate a lot or a little. Anything helps. Thank you for your support.
