Overcoming Cancer in Developing Countries
Nearly 8 million people die from cancer every year. Over 70% of these deaths (i.e. 5.5 million deaths) occur in the low and middle income countries. World Health Organization data shows that cancer is now killing more peole in a year than malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS combined and predicts that global cancer mortality will rise from 8 million to 12 million over the next 12 years, with an even higher proportion coming from developing countries.

900 miles cycling raised over £11,000 in memorial of Chris
On the 19th June 2011, Matthew Blagg has completed the 9 days, 900 miles cycling challenge in memorial of Christopher Niblett, his former school mate who died from Burkitt lymphoma in 2006. Over £11,000 has been raised through this race. With that more than 60 children with this common childhood cancer can be treated freely. You can still support Matt on http://www.justgiving.com/Matthew-Blagg
After the race, Matthew has said…‘I am both pleased and relieved to say I completed the ride from John O'Groats to Lands End. My knees are rather sore but otherwise no major problems or incidents to report. There was some great scenery at times, although often the best vistas were hidden by rain and mist.
Miles covered: 975 (included one very long diversion and one missed turn)
Days it rained: 8 out 9!
Punctures: Just 2
Daily calorie intake: Probably somewhere around 10,000 calories and more than necessary… but I was hungry
Worst moment: Preston to Wigan - the rain was so heavy that the streets were 4 inches deep in water and the drains were overflowing… and then a large lorry passed us at speed
Best moment: Finishing
