Former Crystal Palace midfielder Geoff Thomas is leading a team of 18 amateur cyclists for his fifth and final Tour de France, aiming to raise £1million for Cure Leukaemia.
On July 4th 2020, Thomas and his team will be cycling stage 9 of the Tour de France, one day ahead of the professionals. This day will mark 17 years since the former Palace captain was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia.
To mark this date, Saturday July 4th has become ‘Geoff Thomas Day’, and Thomas is urging the football community and UK public to take on their own challenges to raise funds towards his team’s £1m target.
