About Derek McMenamin

Profile picture

My wife Debbie and I have lost dear friends to breast cancer. Debbie was also treated for breast cancer at The Royal Marsden in 2012. She is a devoted supporter of Le Cure and so am I. Le Cure is unique in its special relationship with The Royal Marsden. As cyclists, we pay all our own costs so that the money we raise goes directly to cutting-edge research projects which our representatives, including my wife’s oncologist (who cycles with us) help to choose. I am very proud that Le Cure-funded research has already led to  changes in clinical practice and saved women from invasive biopsies with its liquid biopsy research. Its most recent research will help to identify more targeted treatments as well as early identification of potential relapse.

About Le Cure 2023

Here we go again!

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 £2.4 million to fund our Le Cure fellowships, but have much more work to do to help cure cancer. 

This is your opportunity to join us for our special, tenth year.  Riders will start in Sestriere in Italy and finish in Mougins in the Cote d'Azur for our final night party and 10 year celebration! 

For the first time, you can also register to join us in Mougins and cycle the final day only. 

As ever, our focus is raising money to fund new, cutting-edge cancer research at the Royal Marsden Hospital.
