Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Ben & Josh are 10 & 11 yr old brothers. When they heard their 7 yr old cousin Jessica was starting her second battle against an aggressive brain tumour, they decided to raise money to help.

Keen cyclists, they decided to use their Xmas holidays to cycle the 8,848m of altitude, to reach the summit of Mt. Everest...on static, indoor bike trainers!

In two weeks the boys aim to ride more than 500m per day of altitude gain, in order to reach their target. To achieve this they will have to cycle more than 300Km in distance, (mostly uphill,) using the popular on-line cycling platform 'Zwift.' 

The boys hope to raise enough money to fund 1 day of research into Brain Tumours, which currently costs £2740.00.

The challenge will start on Saturday Dec 19th 2020, and end on Thursday Dec 31st 2020.

For regular updates, ride schedules, news and media coverage, please visit, like and share the boy's Facebook page here:

Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. Just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this disease. We are a leading voice calling for support and action for research into what is called the last battleground against cancer.
