Profile picture

Le Cure is such a special event, with both experienced and less experienced cyclists taking on a huge challenge in The Alps in August to raise money to support innovative breast cancer research projects at The Royal Marsden Hospital - so please donate what you can to this brilliant cause!!  I will be joining my sister Debbie, who was treated at The Marsden 13 years ago & has fundraised & cycled for Le Cure ever since - her commitment to Le Cure and her determination to raise as much as she possibly can, year after year is my inspiration for peddling hard when those climbs are long & steep and the sun shines oh so brightly. Thank you for any support you can give.

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.
