The former England, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Crewe Alexandra footballer opens up like never before.

Geoff Thomas, who now lives in Worcestershire, reflects on his incredible leukaemia recovery journey, which has seen him made over £15million of difference, 20 years on from his first diagnosis, aiding thousands who have followed in his footsteps.

In conversation with Alistair Binney, Geoff takes us back to the moment he was diagnosed, through to beginning the first of his seven epic charity challenges, riding the route of the Tour de France, 2,000 miles a time, in the Tour 21.

Hear from his doctor, Professor Charlie Craddock, and Cure Leukaemia chief executive James McLaughlin, who give an insight in to the transformation of treatment of patients in the two decades since Geoff received a phone call that would change his life forever. They share how his fundraising efforts have led to change and new opportunities to fight lung cancer for even more people across the country.
