The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileEvery year in the UK approximately 2,400 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer and we are passionate about helping all of these families along this difficult journey.
Every penny of your fundraising will go directly to helping kids with cancer by providing them with new bikes and specially adapted trikes which help them to regain their physical fitness, strength, mental wellness and reduce their social isolation after months of cancer treatment. Since the charity began in 2005 we have helped over 8,500 children in their rehabilitation, to get outside, get active and have some much needed fun! Children just like William:
9 year old William was diagnosed with a metastatic medulloblastoma (brain tumour) in 2020 and has undergone surgery, radiotherapy and intensive chemotherapy. Due to the presence of the residual disease his prognosis remains uncertain. Mum says,
Dear all at CFC - William, my husband and I just wanted to write and thank you all SO SO much for the amazing delivery of a brand new bike! He absolutely LOVES it.....we've had a few rides with it, however I just wanted to share a particular moment with you where he had a momentous achievement - and it was completely due to the new 'Cyclists Fighting Cancer' bike!! Near our house, we have quite a steep hill, and.....quite incredibly, William made it all the way to the top for the first time in two and a half years!! Even we would struggle with this and clearly the lightweight structure of the bike must have so helped him with the challenge! He was so excited and impressed with himself for making it all the way up....and we therefore wanted to thank you for the bike, but also thank you for this almost instant boost it gave to his self-esteem and sense of achievement!! Thank you all SO much
Ride the Coast to Coast in a day with Team CFC and you can conquer this challenge, just like William cycling up his big hill!
Thank you.
