Hi, I’m Matt and I am participating in Le Cure 2026 in memory of my late wife, AK. A truly wonderful person and mother (our son, Josh, is still only just 10), AK tragically lost her own battle with breast cancer at the far too young age of 45 in late 2022. 
 

Empathetic to the end, and to hopefully one day prevent other families from suffering too, one of AK’s wishes was that any future fundraising efforts in her name should be focused on curing cancer. Or, to be more specific, what she actually said was “The support network around cancer is all well and good…but actually, please just help them to cure this bleeping bleep bleeping disease!”

To that end, The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity - Le Cure is at the very forefront of breast cancer research, hence I can’t think of a better reason to ‘get back on my bike’ and help raise those vital funds. 


Thank you for your support. Matt x

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.
