Since starting Le Cure, Matt has cycled the equivalent of the height of Mount Everest 2.31 times, and cycled around the m25 4.46 times! That's 20,447 vertical metres and 839 kilometres.

I signed up for Le Cure in 2022 in memory of my parents, my cousin and some close friends. It was probably the most physically taxing thing I've ever done, and grim from beginning to end. But to my surprise, it was also incredibly uplifting - in particular because the money raised is funding such important, genuinely life-changing work. More surprisingly still, I've decided to don the lycra once more. All and any donations are gratefully received.

Le Cure Highlight:

Getting to the top of Alpe d'Huez, at the end of a day that also took in climbing the Col du Galibier, is hard to beat.

Toughest Moment:

The last 5km up the Col d'Izoard into a headwind was pretty unbearable. Then the downpour started. Making it down the other side was even worse.
