Hi all,
This ride is growing from strength to strength, people are coming from all over the country to take part.
we are expecting over 2000+ cyclists this year!

Is it possible to give our fantastic cycle event a mention? maybe a mention or forward e-mail to friends,or even enter a team?
Any support is greatly appreciated. This event is now bringing cyclists from all over the country.

The Chris Lucas Trust is fundraising to pay for our Scientific Medical Researcher, based with the NHS, at the Royal Marsden Hospital, London, Institute of Cancer Research, Innovative Therapies for Children with Cancer (ITCC) since 2005.
To research a very aggressive cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma (Rab – doe – my - o - Sarcoma) to help improve the quality of life of children and young adults suffering from this horrific type of sarcoma.
He has very good experience of molecular profiling of cancers and I am sure he will really help us push forward our ongoing work on rhabdomyosarcoma
The research group are also very interested in the underlying molecular abnormalities in RMS that might be important as targets for developing new drugs.
Our vital work work on the molecular characterision of rhabdomyosarcoma, using 'microarray' profiling which tests thousands of genes simultaneously.
By looking at how these results predict response to treatment, we aim to highlight the important genes for choosing new drugs to test on RMS cell lines and in the clinic and aim to identify new targets for developing new drugs.
