Cancer Survivor Cycles 125 Miles for Charity
23 Aug
Summary
- 27-year-old with incurable stage 4 breast cancer
- Preparing for 125-mile charity cycle ride
- Found lump at 24, told "too young" for cancer

In a remarkable display of resilience, Alice Greaves, a 27-year-old woman living with incurable stage four breast cancer, is preparing to embark on a 125-mile charity cycle ride. Greaves, who lives in Old Dalby, Leicestershire, was diagnosed with the advanced form of the disease that has spread to her lungs and brain.
Greaves' journey to this point has been a challenging one. Three years ago, at the age of 24, she discovered a lump in her breast but was told by a doctor that she was "too young" for cancer. Tragically, the lump turned out to be a sign of the devastating illness that would change the course of her life.
Despite the grim prognosis, Greaves remains determined to make a difference. On Saturday, she will set off from her hometown and cycle the 125-mile distance to Sheringham, Norfolk, all in the name of raising funds for a charitable cause. As she prepares for the long-distance ride, Greaves says she feels "amazing" and is ready to take on the challenge.
Greaves' inspiring story serves as a testament to the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. Her unwavering commitment to making a positive impact, even in the midst of her own health struggles, is a true inspiration to all who hear her story.
