Well, after last years amazing trip cycling the West Highland Way with my Dad raising money for the "Make a Wish Foundation" we've decided to go on another adventure this year and cycle 100 miles in 2 days to help raise money for "Cyclists Fighting Cancer" and also in memory of my Gran (my Dads Mum) who died from cancer at only 36.

So...on Saturday 12th July we are going to head for Fort William with our road bikes and cycle back to Glasgow Green. A total of 103 miles. We will leave Fort William, head down to Kinlochleven and through Glen Coe (my Grans favourite place) down and across Rannoch Moor, Tyndrum and stop overnight at Strathfillan having cycled 50 miles. Then on Sunday we will head for Crianlarich, then down the side of Loch lomond past the Drovers Inn, through Tarbet, Dumbarton and arriving into Glasgow Green. 

My dad says it will be tough, but epic. He knows that after last year we can do this and if you would like to sponsor our great cause that would be fantastic to!

Here's a little info about the great work "Cyclists Fighting Cancer" do! 

Cyclists Fight Cancer (CFC) is a registered charity (1140017) providing a unique and highly effective way of helping kids with cancer through activity and exercise.

We give new bikes, tandems and specially adapted trikes to children and young people who have been affected by cancer throughout the UK.  The effects of the disease and its treatments in children are numerous; amputations, balance issues, physical weakness, coordination difficulties, lack of self esteem are just a few of the most common side effects seen in many patients.

Exercise has been shown in numerous adult studies to be the single most effective way of improving both physical and mental wellness for people surviving cancer.  We encourage cycling as the best form of exercise based rehabilitation especially for children because it provides all these benefits in a low impact, fun, sociable and exciting way.

Cancer also causes massive disruption in families, therefore 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 upheaval.

We plan to supply another 300 awards this year which will take our total since we started in 2006 to over 1200 cases.  In addition we funding a dedicated research study with the University of Leeds to clearly illustrate the relationship between physical and mental well being and physical activity in children surviving cancer.  Our main focus is raising awareness and to providing a bespoke service to each individual applicant.

We operate totally on the kind support of the public and cyclists doing bike rides around Britain and across the world. All monies donated make a huge difference to our total fundraising effort and ultimately to the number of children affected by cancer we support.
