Raising money for

Cyclists Fighting Cancer

Charity Registration No. 1112902

Cyclists Fighting Cancer awards shiny new bikes, tandems and specially adapted trikes to children and young people who have been affected by cancer throughout the UK and Northern Ireland. We encourage cycling as the best form of exercise based rehabilitation for those children undergoing and recovering from cancer treatments. To encourage them further we also give bikes to their siblings and in many cases their parents in order that they can take part in an activity as a family once again after what can be years of hospitalisation and disruption. Every penny raised goes into achieving these objectives. www.cyclistsfightingcancer.org.uk

My story

The plan is to cycle from one end of the country to the other. However, with a couple of very hard 50 mile training rides now under my belt I am questioning the wisdom of this. It was inspired by two men. Lance Armstrong, cancer survivor and former winner of the Tour de France, and Geoff Thomas, also a cancer survivor and former footballer who has done a lot of work for cancer charities through cycling. Oh, and my friend Paul who did it last year and convinced me in the pub that it was a good idea.

In broad terms the plan of action is to get down to Penzance on Friday 23^rd June and for the next two weeks cycle through Dartmoor, up the Wales/ England border, through the Lake district, over the Scottish Highlands and into John O’Groats. Sounds easy, but with some of the hills I’ve got to go over, at times I think I may need a little more inspiration and drive to complete the 1000+ mile journey. That’s where this charity comes in. With your help I hope to raise as much money as I can for Cyclists Fighting Cancer, a very worthwhile cause that aims to raise money for young people affected by cancer. Hopefully this will provide me with the impetus I need.

Many thanks. Keiran
