It is also the most common form of solid tumour cancer in children under five. Only one in two children who are diagnosed actually survive. So that’s why, two years ago, I decided to get on my bike and try and make a difference. A real difference. I don’t have neuroblastoma in my family but I have met families who have: they are tortured by their loss. I look upon my task as simply getting the message out there that this is a disease that hardly anyone has heard of, yet it’s taking kids out before they’ve had a chance to live life. I made the target 25,000 miles because it’s further than the circumference of the world at the equator.
