We are MACS; supporting children born without eyes or with underdeveloped eyes. Every year in the UK, around 90 children are born with a MACS condition. We provide practical and emotional support for the whole family, to help children reach their full potential and enjoy life.

Story

Ok Folks it's that time of year again and the Smile Train cycle team is getting ready for action once again. Following last year's highly successful adventure we're at it again with a new and improved team bolstered by five new riders which hopefully means more cash for our chosen charity. Last year we completed the course in just over 6 hours in saddle or 7 including the time it took to fix the odd puncture!!

 

 This year we are riding to support a small UK charity called MACS who do a fantastic job supporting children who are born which a range of conditions which primarly effect their eyes. This charity has a very small annual income so your contribution will have a big impact.

 

You can find for information at www.macs.org.uk

 

 So please do your very best to support our group of 30/40 something's as we suffer tortuous hours of training in the wind and rain before embarking on the Century Cycle Challenge once again May 21 2011.

This year's team includes Charles R, Joe A, Mal P, Steve F, Nick J, James A, Claire J, Michelle R, Mike F, John K; James C, Liz C, Lee M, and a very nice chap called 'Jimbo' who's surname i cant quite remember!
