New year, new race!


Following the success of last year’s London-Paris, Brewin Dolphin is delighted to field a team of sixteen riders for the London to Paris 2012 Cycle Ride in aid of Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research.
Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research is the only UK charity solely dedicated to research into blood cancers, including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Its life-saving research is focused on finding causes, improving diagnosis and treatments, and running groundbreaking clinical trials for all blood cancer patients.

As part of the Beating Blood Cancers team, in association with Geoff Thomas, our riders are from offices across the Brewin Dolphin Group and have local hospitals involved in the clinical trials which are to be funded by the proceeds from the race this year.

Geoff Thomas is an ex-Crystal Palace and England player who was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia in 2003. Unlike many who do not survive this illness, Geoff battled back to health thanks to a life saving bone marrow transplant from his sister. Since recovering from his illness, Geoff has dedicated his life to raising money to fund blood cancer treatment.
