London To Paris Cycle Challenge April 18th to 22nd 2012
Stuart Philpot, one of the founder members of Great Yarmouth Brass is asking for your sponsorship to raise funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care. He will be cycling the 320 miles from Crystal Palace to The Eiffel Tower in April 2012.
In 2001 Stuart’s father-in-law was diagnosed with a brain tumour and after a short illness passed away at just 56 years of age. Along with thousands of families affected by Cancer each year, the support provided to the family by organisations like Marie Curie Cancer Care was invaluable. In these uncertain financial times we should all try to make sure these services continue for those being currently supported and make sure they are available in the future. Cancer can affect anyone.
In the New Year, Great Yarmouth Brass will be holding two concert events in the Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth Areas, with all profits going to the Marie Curie Cancer Care Organisation. Tickets for the first concert at Christchurch are available now.
To Sponsor Stuart complete the sponsorship form at any of the Great Yarmouth Brass concerts or call him on 07899901099 or 01502 501298,
You can also follow Stuart’s training and progress on Twitter@stuphilpot and Facebook.
