Story
Three BCA officers approached ABCO about the possibility of fundraising for three very worthy causes via their favourite hobby, mountain biking. The challenge set out was to ride a 300km section of the 2,000km long TransAndalus route.
Day one sees our three riders set off from Alhama de Granada to Antequera covering nearly 90km and 1,400m of elevation. Day two they would ride from Antequera to Ronda covering nearly 100km and 2,800m of elevation. Their final day would see them ride from Ronda to Gibraltar covering nearly 114km and 1,700m elevation.
It was decided that rather than donate the funds collected to just one cause, it would be donated to three. The choices made by the riders are of personal significance to them with each cause having affected them in one way or another during their lifetime.
Cancer Research UK (Gibraltar Branch), Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital Charity and Rock Fitness Charity were the 3 beneficiaries chosen. Rock Fitness Charity for their voluntary work to help members of the Gibraltarian community through exercise. Cancer Research UK (Gibraltar Branch) for their invaluable work in research and support to those affected by this nasty disease and GOSH for all the care and treatment they provide to Gibraltarian children whilst going through treatment.
Please help us raise us much funds as possible for these causes by donating to our Just Giving page and by following us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ABCO.2017.Charity.Ride/
