In 2011 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and then with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. After having surgery for prostate cancer I have turned to cycling for fitness and challenges in order to slow down the effects of the cancers. 

Pedal for Pounds 10.5 with Made by Cooper is a 130 mile bike ride in aid of the Huddersfield Town Foundation, Yorkshire Air Ambulance, The Kirkwood and Platform 1 taking place on Friday 6 May and Saturday 7 May 2022.

The event challenges Town fans to cycle from Huddersfield to Harrogate and back, returning to the John Smiths Stadium in time for the last home game of the regular season against Bristol City.

There are two options of route on day one, Friday 6 May 2022 one is 97 miles, and the other is a gentler 65 miles!

The longer route will begin at the John Smiths Stadium and see cyclists take on a challenging ride via Burnsall, where there will be a food stop, before heading through Kettlewell and Middleham and ending at the overnight accommodation in Harrogate.

The 65-mile option for day one starts the same as above, but cyclists will head straight to Harrogate from Burnsall.

Day two, on Saturday 7 May 2022, will be a straight 33-mile route from Harrogate back to the John Smiths Stadium in time for kick-off!
