Andy Gray Hits New High for Marie Curie

This time Andy is heading to The Alps to ride the Classic Cols. 6 Mountains in 3 days all of which are regular climbs on the Tour de France. This years tour is travelling up the biggest climb on the 21st July... Andy will be there 3 weeks earlier. The trip is nearly 2000 miles with an elevation gain (going up hills) of 133,000 feet and burning 135,000 calories. Here's hoping the legs hold out Andy!

As usual, Andy is doing all of this in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care, who provide high quality nursing, totally free, to give people with terminal cancer and other illnesses the choice of dying at home, supported by their families. It runs nine Marie Curie Hospices across the UK offering free specialist care for patients and support for families. The charity conducts palliative care research to find better ways of caring for terminally ill people and also funds scientists who investigate the causes and treatments of cancer.
