Robert Seaward, undergoing chemotherapy for brain cancer, defies expectations by completing a 200-mile bike ride from Buckinghamshire to Paris to watch the Rugby World Cup final. Despite being told he has limited time left to live, Seaward's determination inspires others as he enjoys the game and meets fellow fans.
A father undergoing chemotherapy for brain cancer said he has “shown people what can be done” after he completed a 200-mile bike ride to Paris to watch the Rugby World Cup final.
He had the “spontaneous” idea for the cycle as he reflected on his journey with oligodendroglioma, a type of brain tumour, after watching the Springboks defeat England in a dramatic 16-15 semi-final last week.Mr Seaward’s wife, Shelley, had bought him tickets to the match as an early birthday gift but she did not expect her husband to travel to the game by bike.
On Friday morning, he was back on his bike and rode to Beauvais before cycling onwards to reach Paris at 3pm on Saturday. “I’ve raised a great amount of money for charity, but more importantly the message has spread and lots of people reached out to me directly saying that I’ve given them hope – and that’s worth more than the money,” he said.
