The Mark Gorry Foundation was set up in 2009 by Mark Gorry who was fighting Testicular Cancer. Mark wanted to set up a foundation to do 2 things; raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of Testicular Cancer, promoting early detection and raise £1 million towards Cancer treatment and support for the future.
We are the MGF team and we have partnered with 'Wild Bikes' of Stockton Heath to bring you a local cycle challenge that encourages you to do something great for your own health and wellbeing as well as helping us to shine a spotlight on Testicular Cancer.
