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 £1.5 million to fund our Le Cure fellowships.

About Derek McMenamin
My wife, Debbie, was treated at The Royal Marsden for breast cancer in 2012. Le Cure is unique in the spirit of its cyclists and the fact that the money it raises goes directly to fund research fellowships chosen by my wife's oncologist, Professor Ian Smith and other professors at The Royal Marsden. I can ride a bike so what else better could I do to help cure breast cancer?
