About Tom Kilpatrick

Profile picture

Le Cure is a 4-day ride in the Alps, covering 400km and more than 10,000m elevation. I have managed to fit in a bit of training, but a combination of very soggy UK weather and being busy at work has meant I am a bit behind where I wanted to be. I look forward to tackling the mountains though and will give it my best shot.  

My mother died 5 years ago, aged 65, after a 12 month battle with cancer. She was as fit as a fiddle and climbing hills until shortly before she passed. Mum was an amazing person and continues to leave a big hole in the lives of those who knew her. We all know what a horrible monster cancer is and the Royal Marsden is a great charity. 

For the avoidance of doubt, I am paying for the event myself and any donations will go straight to the charity. I hope that you can support Le Cure and that the rain stays away from the Alps that week!

About Le Cure 2024

Dear Curistas

As you probably know, Le Cure de France is a charity cycling event established in 2014 to raise money for breast cancer research at the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.  So far we have raised over £2.7 million to fund our Le Cure fellowships, but have much more work to do to help cure cancer. 

So here we are - time to cycle up mountains again!  This year the route is based around Mt Blanc and will take us from Meribel (and over the formidable Col de la Loze) into Italy and Switzerland before we head to the finale in Chamonix, at the heart of the French Alps. 

Whether you're joining us for the whole event or the last day, get signing up and get cycling!  It promises to be another great year raising money to fund new, cutting-edge cancer research at the Royal Marsden Hospital.
