About George Long

Profile picture

Following a head and neck cancer diagnosis in November 2024 I received the all clear 6 months later albeit 20kg lighter and unable to do any strenuous activity. Cancer treatment (radio & chemo is brutal and Le Cure hopes to find better, less invasive ways of identifying and treating many forms of cancer but with a particular focus on breast cancer. So what we do makes a difference and we're proud to keep funding research fellows at the Royal Marsden.

About Le Cure 2026

Dear Curistas

As you probably know, if you've got this far, 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 £3.8 million to fund our 8 Le Cure Research Fellowships (and counting), but have much more work to do to help cure cancer. 

The route for 2026 includes the formidable Cime de la Bonette (the highest paved road in the Alps), the Col de l'Iseran (the highest mountain pass) and the might Col d'Izoard - fondly remembered from our first ever Le Cure. 

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