'The Tour O the Borders is a cycle sportive event which starts and finishes in Peebles and runs in September each year. As many of you will know, Gary was a keen cyclist and was regularly seen on a static bike during his cancer rehab treatment. He even continued to cycle to and from his treatment when he was no longer able to cycle during it. Gary and his partner Anna were aware of research being conducted in Denmark, and here in Edinburgh, that suggested that aerobic exercise whilst on chemotherapy could help make the treatment more effective.

Following the success of previous events, we are taking part in this year’s Tour O the Borders Sportive in Peebles on Sunday September 3rd 2023.

All monies raised will go to Maggie's who provide free cancer support to people across the UK. Maggies really helped Gary during his treatment, and they continue to do crucial work in helping people with their prehab/rehab treatment.
