Hi All,
In June I will be cycling 3,500 miles across America (LA to Miami) in 30 days, to raise £100,000 for cancer charities.

What is even more amazing, the person I am cycling with (James) had cancer and nearly died last year.

James was diagnosed with cancer in November 2008 and was given less than 10% chance of survival. He had chemotherapy, 9 operations, was in a coma for 2 weeks and weighed less than 7 stone (was 14 stone). Thankfully James won his battle and was given the all clear on July 23rd 2009. We expect to finish our bike ride on the 23rd July 2010, exactly a year later.

James' story is inspirational and shows how you can battle against the odds and go on to achieve amazing things. See full story www.CycleAcrossAmercia2010.com

We were recently on ITV Central news, click here to see the video clip http://www.itv.com/central-west/cancer-survivor19534/ Title – “cancer survivor”

Although the bike ride is a massive physical challenge we have set ourselves an even bigger challenge, to raise £100,000 for cancer charities and this is why we need your help.

If you have any ideas on promoting this event, fundraising suggestions or can help in anyway please contact me (sean@newman.uk.com 07973 197227). Or if you would like to join us for all or part of the ride you are welcome.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you in advance for your kind support.

Sean
