My long term partner Richard was diagnosed with lung cancer and given 2/3 months to live. Shock ! He was treated with chemotherapy and

immunotherapy immediately. He went on to survive another 18 months full of ups and downs. Sadly he died in December 2024. He spent his last 2 weeks of life at St Julia’s hospice. What a remarkable place for both him and our families to spend time with him together. It’s been a tough couple of years but cycling to help raise money for this incredible charity is helping me cope massively. Thanks to Sir Chris Hoy for organising the ‘Tour De 4’ charity bike ride.

My neighbour and his son are cycling with me as they have both gone through a similar story. It’s so much more fun with 3 of us. The weather is on our side and I’m hoping for the same when we get to Scotland on September 7th. Thankyou for your support, no matter how small. 

With love Lorna Murray.
