Story

I am raising money for Get A Head, a wonderful charity
which provides support for and research into head & neck cancers. Miles4Mel was established in memory of Mel Jaggard, a beloved colleague who sadly passed away in 2013 from Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC), a very rare form of cancer.

With 100+ colleagues I will be riding 180 miles over 2 days (21st & 22nd May), from Unilever's head office in Leatherhead to Mel’s home town of Gilwern in South Wales.

Throughout her epic battle Mel and her family raised awareness and a significant amount of money for research into ACC. Inspired by Mel, we decided to pick up where she had left off so please give generously and help us raise more vitally important money for the Get A Head charitable trust.
