No chance. I'm not wasting petrol supporting the billion dollar cancer "research" industry.

CRUK has enough money in its coffers. Support a local charity not a bunch of frauds.

Seriously man, Are you kids or adults?

Off all places I would of expected a little more support then to act like it’s a joking matter. I’m disgusted to be honest lads. And for those 1 or 2 off you with trying to be funny, sorry but just hope you don’t ever have a disease like this, because I wont feel sorry for you one bit.

Posting impersonal, blatant 'copy and paste' messages never does go down well here, which is probably the main reason why that post now has a shiny red blob above it. It might be a good cause but your message reads like a generic piece of marketing spiel (because that's what it is).

Just as you wouldn't walk up to someone in a pub and open with 'Dear Sir/Madam' it doesn't fly here.

Also might help if riding round the 'UK' didn't mean England and the border of Wales Thumbs Up

I have to admit, I feel a little uneasy with my comments. Obviously I had no idea that the poster was as described.

Although I fully understand - as much as that's possible - the posters' situation, I still fail to see how cancer can be beaten by riding up and down the country on a motorbike*. My point is: it's all been done. We've been raising funds for CRUK for years - sponsered walks, races, silences, etc - . You name it, it's been done. Aint changed anything.

How many more millions must CRUK rake in before people realise they are being had? If you give, give, give and all you see in return is... requests for more, more, more... time to ask a few questions, methinks.

Want a decent cancer charity to support?
Marie Curie Cancer Care.

*glib point. If anything, the pollution will increase cancer.

The Chernobyl disaster is probably the biggest cause of cancer all over Europe! blame the russians! Mr. Green

On a serious note though, making money out of peoples misfortunes is just taking the biscuit really.

Marie Curie Cancer Care are a good charity, and all we have to do is pop into Tesco (who are donating money to them) or something, rather than trek round the 'UK', probably causing more cancer by emissions or something silly like that.

If you have ever worked for a Cancer research company you might find it interesting to see how much of the money you donate does not go on the actual research but on band wagon that rolls such companies. Its a bit like christian aid and Oxfam advertising on the TV at the moment..... where do they get the money to do that? Personally I wanted my money to go direct to the people that need it.... not on PR, Adverts, nice carpets and curtains for their offices.

but saying all that.... you can't knock someone for trying to make a difference about something that means a lot to them. IF this teenager had been effected then they will try to do something about it and any negativity that gets posted on here will not stop them and not everyone will have the same opinion. Some will chose to ride and support the cause and some will not. The only bit I don't agree with is taking a salary from money donated..... but I guess if that didn't happen then we would not be able to save so many cancer suffers every year. IMO its money better spent to donate to charity than to sponsor some of these bikers that go off on things like Enduro India. Each rider has to raise £4k and only £1.5k gets to the charity.... where does the rest go?

Anyways that's my 2p worth
