Dear all, colleagues, friends and family, 

This year will be the 10^th edition of the Nicola Werner Challenge (NWC) which is more than cycling events to raise funds for HPV cancer research. It reminds us of how precious life is with joy and fun, being in community with others and at the same time showing us how vulnerable we all are.

So we invite you to take a moment to think and feel how precious life is for you and the ones close to you. Most of us are lucky with whom we are surrounded with, what we have achieved, where we live and yes, we could go on like this, however, ….

How about giving back some.

With this in mind we seek your support for the NWC organization which supports the following projects:

• BIO-HPV (Gustave Roussy) 
• T cell responses for head and neck tumors (German Cancer Research Center)

The NWC dedicates at least 80% of funds received from individuals to these projects.

The two of us are enthusiastic cyclists with Sebastien on his way to become a true “addict” participating for the second time and Jens dreaming about taking a step back which is easier said that done participating for the 9th time.

Together we aim high to make it to the podium in terms of fund raisers.

Sebastien and Jens
