Hi all,
I am going to be participating (currently training..Lol) in a bike ride from Wellingborough to Skegness (86 miles) on Saturday 1st of July 2017, in aid of my friend who's son (Gerry Gent) has neuroblastoma.
Neuroblastoma is a rare cancer that affects children. It develops from nerve cells called neuroblasts.
The cancer usually starts in the child’s abdomen (tummy). It often develops in the adrenal glands, the two small glands above the kidneys, and can spread to other areas such as the bones, liver and skin.
The cause is unknown. There are rare cases where children in the same family are affected, but it does not generally run in families.
The family is currently being supported though this difficult time by a local charity http://www.niamhsnextstep.com who's family have gone through the same thing with there amazing daughter Niamh who sadly died after a tough 18 month battle with this awful disease.
Here is a link to Niamh's story:

The charity are providing us with support vehicles, medic, and racing jerseys as well as accident insurance which is fantastic.
Please help and show your support for this amazing charity by donating whatever you can to try and beat childhood cancer.
Cheers guys.
Paul.
