In August, my dad is cycling from London to Paris in aid of The Anthony Nolan Trust. This particular charity is very important to our family. My Uncle Russell, my dad's big brother, had leukemia and found a bone marrow donor through this trust. He recovered but unfortunately contracted MRSA and passed away.
My dad is 43 which means he has been unable to be on the donor register for the past 3 years. So instead, he is going to do this huge cycle to raise money. Telling this story reminds me of why my dad has been my hero since a very young age. He will do everything he can for his family, or anything that is important to him, even if it results in being chased down the street by people who drew on our car. Now, he is cycling however many miles for a fantastic cause. If you have any spare change lying around, please, donate to this amazing man and amazing cause!
