‍♂️ Tour de 4: Riding for Stage 4 ‍♀️

After reading Sir Chris Hoy’s autobiography, I felt inspired — not just to get back to full fitness, but to do something that could make a real difference.

As someone living with stage 4 cancer, I wanted to raise awareness and funds for those of us navigating life with this diagnosis. I pulled together my dream team — Jez, Joanne and Simon — and we started planning our training, our route, and our adventure together for the Tour de 4 cycling challenge.

Sadly, due to my upcoming surgery, I won’t be able to ride alongside them as planned. I’m heartbroken to miss out on this journey after putting so much into it.

But there’s hope in the form of a hero! My suoerstar Ben has generously stepped in to ride in my place. I couldn’t be more grateful to him for carrying the torch (and the pedals!) forward for me.

Every mile cycled is for the people living with stage 4 cancer. For the resilience, the unseen battles, and the urgent need for more support, research, and understanding.

If you can, please support our Tour de 4 challenge. Your donation, no matter the size, helps keep us moving forward — on the road, and in the fight.

The aim of the event is to raise funds for cancer charities across the UK. Given their huge support of us, we’re raising funds for Pickering Cancer.
