Story

We're back!

In October 2013, 180 men and women from Unilever jumped on static bikes and cycled over 2,000 miles in the inaugural Miles 4 Mel event.  In May 2014, 48 of us took the event on the road and cycled a combined 8,600 miles from Leatherhead to Gilwern.  This year we will be out on the road again, hoping to assemble an even bigger peloton, raise more money for Get A Head and keep alive the memory and spirit of our great friend and colleague Mel Jaggard.

The money raised will help fund research at The Royal Marsden's Molecular Research Centre to understand the genetic pathways of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC) to enable them to find targets and blockers for it.  Your money really will make a huge difference!

Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.
