Set up by a team of cycling enthusiasts, all of whom have lost a family member or a friend to cancer, Bike 4 Cancer is primarily a provider of days out and short-breaks for British families affected by cancer.
We also make grants to UK based care institutions and support research into the positive effects of exercise (e.g. cycling) and how it can help with cancer prevention and recovery.
The 100-mile course follows the exact route used for the 2012 Olympic Road Race and starts in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park then follows a 100-mile route on closed roads which will be lined with thousands of spectators.
They will cycle past famous landmarks as they leave London before crossing into Surrey's stunning countryside.
With some leg testing climbs along the way, the ride finishes on The Mall in central London.
Commenting on their challenge, Gary said:
"In 2011 I was diagnosed with having an Mucoepidermoid carcinoma tumour in my right lung. This resulted in myself having half my right lung removed. This caused massive knockon effects to my life style, wellbeing and career. I got medically discharged from the Royal Navy, suffered depression and it was a major contribution in the breakdown of my marriage. I found the lack of support for my family was not there and a charity like Bike 4 Cancer can go along away to helping those who need it the most. Supporting cancer charities is close to my heart and I recently cycled in the London to Brighton bike ride for Bike 4 Cancer."
