About Alan Farrer

Profile picture

8 years ago my wife was treated by the Royal Marsden undergoing surgery, followed by Chemo and Radio-therapy after she discovered a lump, just before our son was born. 

 

The Marsden was unbelievable at treating not just the physical symptoms but the mental side as well.  There was always support for Louise from nurses who she could phone at any time to discuss concerns and Louise is really well now.

 

Anyway, Louise and I are looking to raise funds for further research and support for patients.  We are again taking part in a charity cycle ride, where we are cycling close to 450km over 4 days (23-26 August) with 9,000 metres of climbing. Travelling from the Italian Alps to Provence.

 

I hope the genuine physical challenge will make you consider sponsoring us for what is a fantastic cause.  To see the great work the funding pays for, listen to the talk by the "Prof", Professor Ian Smith, who also cycles the Le cure ride every year.

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.
