Hi All,
My son and I are doing this 100 mile cycle ride in aid of Bowel Cancer UK. I am aiming to raise £500 to help them research the disease and support others who went through what I did. 11 years ago I was diagnosed as having Bowel Cancer and long story short it was cut out of me, I made a full recovery and now have the same likelihood of suffering cancer as anyone else. I was very lucky because I caught it early and although it was deeply unpleasant for me and those around me I was one of the approximate 50% survival rate. I saw some of the people that were in my ward at my one month check, it was clear that one or two of them weren't as fortunate: I was walking, ready to ride my Varadero, had had my first curry and about to work towards a normal life. One poor guy who was in the bed opposite a month earlier was as white as a sheet, so skinny he couldn't have been eating and not able to walk unaided. It really bought home to me how lucky I was!
We are asking that if you can afford a few £'s to support us, that you go to our just giving page and make a donation. Its simple; go to just Giving, search Paul and Ben Sharpe and look for Ride London 100. Anything you can offer will help a brilliant charity, it will increase the number of survivors and support those who have someone with the disease.
We (Ben and Me) Bowel Cancer UK and everyone it supports thank you in advance.
