00:00On the 19th of June 2018, I went into hospital.

00:12The doctor said, Luke, you have cancer, but this isn't one of the ones that's cured.

00:18You're looking at months if you're lucky.

00:22Basically he told me, you're going to die.

00:25Which is devastating, utterly devastating.

00:32On the day that I was diagnosed, I had this tiny little thought in my head, if I somehow

00:39get through treatment, I want to cycle around the world.

00:43I set out to live my dream, cycling from Bristol to Beijing on a tandem, joined by other canned

00:49livers.

00:50I wanted to go along the ancient Silk Road and in some ways travel through time.

00:58I had a phone call from home.

01:01I remember saying, that can't be true because my other son's got cancer.

01:05That was when her family fell apart.

01:09I knew I had to survive.

01:20My mum and I have never had an easy relationship.

01:22We don't do hugs very well, we don't do physical contact that well.

01:31When I was diagnosed with stage four cancer, that made me realize I had to do my dream right

01:37now.

01:40It's not necessary that you need training to cycle across the nation.

01:45The most important thing that you have in your body is a mind.

01:57Nobody knows where's the finish line.

01:59Nobody knows.
