For various reasons it has taken me 20 months to get back on to a bike after Le Cure 2021. I certainly didn't expect to find myself doing Le Cure again.But somehow, I signed up without having made up my mind-perhaps just to imagine doing it again. Something in my psyche said that there was unfinished business here- and there undoubtedly is- and in particular there is the unfinished business of funding Le Cure's groundbreaking research. So, I've been training since May as much as I can (which has been an achievement in itself) and I plan to give Le Cure 2023 my very best shot- even if this may involve 'leading' from the back. As ever, it's the participation of everyone that counts towards the bigger goal. So thank you for your support- however much or little, it's all greatly appreciated.

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.
