About Stephen J. Mariano

Profile picture

I enjoy riding, but really do not like cancer…nor the impact it has on so many of my family, friend, and co-workers. If I can help raise awareness, and maybe even a little funding, by riding a bike and accepting peoples’ generosity, then a few days of suffering with fellow Curistas seems worth the effort.

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.
