Chris' Personal Message:
Hi. Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
I will be cycling from Edinburgh to London this July toraise money for Testicular Cancer awareness through the John Hartson Foundation. I am hoping to complete the event in 4 or 5 days. This will be a huge challenge for me as i am not a cyclist and iintend on camping overnight rather than using hotels or B&B's. I will give 100% to the event and really hope that you will all back me in raising as much as possible for this very worthwhile cause.
Making a donation through CharityGiving is simple. charitygiving.co.uk is operated by The Dove Trust, a charity with over 26 years' experience of helping individuals, charities and good causes globally, so your giving is safe and secure.

Chris is raising money for The John Hartson Foundation:
The John Hartson Foundation has been set up through the determination of John himself as he continues to battle through his horrendous ordeal, this is the character of the man, his main focus will be to openly offer his experience in going through a traumatic time since he was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer after ignoring a lump for 4 years, John admits himself that if he was aware of how easy it was to get checked and that Testicular Cancer is over 90% curable if caught early enough he probably would not have had to go through the brain operations, lung operations and over 60 sessions of chemotherapy.
The aims and objectives of the Foundation will be to raise awareness of Testicular Cancer and how easy and most of all how important it is to check yourself on a regular basis, the foundation will also raise funds to provide cancer organisations more support throughout the UK.
The John Hartson Foundation is based at our new offices in Swansea.
Please visit our website to find a list of events that the kind people that support John are going to "tackle" to raise funds for the foundation.
Information on how you can help and support the foundation by participating in an event can be found under the "EVENTS" section.
Thank you.
