About Debbie McMenamin

Profile picture

If I can still ride a bike then I can climb a mountain- or 2 ! With 60 fellow riders including Derek and my sister Kate I am hoping to help build on all the amazing research The Marsden has been able to carry out to date thanks to Le Cure - and you!

About Le Cure 2025

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 £3 million to fund our Le Cure fellowships, but have much more work to do to help cure cancer. 

2025 promises to be another special year.  Back in the heartlands of the French Alps, the route will see Curistas take on the spectacular Lacets de Montvernier, the mighty Galibier and finish with a double ascent of the fabled Alpe d'Huez. 

Get signing up and get cycling!  We can't wait for you to join us in the Alps and raising money to fund new, cutting-edge cancer research at the Royal Marsden Hospital.
