This weekend we are again cycling coast to coast on the 170 mile Walney to Wear (W2W) route, in aid of THE TRACY CRAWFORD FOUNDATION.

The Foundation raises funds for cancer related illness in the local area and also chooses where the money is best spent. We have raised in excess of 150K over the last 4 years. The Sunderland businessmen in the ride include Tavistock Hotels, City Taxis, USL, Tribeca Hair and Surreal Creative.

To get involved, feel free to come and cheer us on at the Roker Hotel on Sunday afternoon at about 5 o'clock.
