SIR – As the UK gets set to once again welcome the Tour de France to our shores, Marie Curie Cancer Care, the official charity partner of the Tour de France Grand Depart, is encouraging the people of Bradford to be part of the action and volunteer and become collectors at the official Tour de France supporter hubs.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to not only get close to the action and see some cycling greats, but also to raise vital funds for the charity. Marie Curie Nurses provide free care to people with terminal illnesses in their own homes and in the Marie Curie Hospice, Bradford.

If anyone would like to register to take part, it couldn’t be simpler. Just visit mariecurie.org.uk/tourdefrance.
