On May 8th at 8:30 a.m., John will begin an 8,000 km cycling journey across 15 countries. His tour, called “Survival is not enough”, is dedicated to young cancer patients and aims to raise awareness and funds for those who are currently unable to live out their dreams due to cancer.

John was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma at the age of 22 and spent ten months in hospital at a sarcoma centre in Stuttgart. He underwent at least 14 chemotherapy cycles and participated as a patient in a new study from the USA. Today, he has been free of recurrence and metastases for over two years.
