Sarah Greene Breakthrough Tribute Fund
CHARITY CYCLE RIDE 2012
Funding research to find a cure for 'triple negative breast cancer' which is a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer.
BRUGES TO SPA, BELGIUM
7th– 9th JUNE 2012.
* (Please note: transport will be organised to depart from London to Bruges on Wednesday 6th June in the afternoon and returning from Spa to London on Sunday 10th June 2012 in the afternoon)
WE ARE OFF AGAIN ON OUR THIRD FUND RAISING RIDE!!!!!!!
Cycling through the beautiful countryside of Belgium, the spiritual home of cycling.
Please join us on this fantastic, fun adventure, cycling approximately 250 miles in 3 days from Bruges, one of the most beautiful and historic cities in Europe known as the Venice of the North to the amazing city of Spa referred to as the ‘Pearl of the Ardennes’ renowned for its health-giving hot water springs.
All funds raised go directly to The Sarah Greene Breakthrough Tribute Fund which was established after Sarah Greene lost her battle with breast cancer in 2006 aged 44. Sarah’s Fund finances a number of research posts at the new Kings College London Breakthrough Breast Cancer Research Unit in Guys Hospital, London by awarding a number of gifted young doctors the opportunity to apply for a 5 year funded Fellowship (The Sarah Greene Fellowship) which costs approximately £400,000 each. It is also our aim to fund some equipment in the future to support the research.
The purpose of the Fellowships is to fund research and find a cure for 'triple negative breast cancer' which is a particular aggressive form of the disease (and the one that Sarah died of).
We have already raised close to £1 million from our previous two rides to Paris in 2008 and across Ireland in 2010 and have so far funded two researchers.
