About Thomas Strickland

Profile picture

 

I am taking part in Le Cure in memory of those taken by cancer, and in support of everyone whose lives have been affected by this cruel disease. 

Over four demanding days, I will cycle 397 kilometres through the Alps, climbing a total of 10,059 metres and tackling some of the region’s most challenging mountain passes.

By taking on this challenge, I hope to raise money for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity for vital research that can improve treatment, and help prevent others from losing loved ones before their time.

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.
