On Sunday 14.9.2025, TEAM SCTS will take on our 1st London to Brighton Cycle Ride 🚴🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️. SCTS is the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery. Our mission is to make heart, chest and lung surgery better for patients by supporting our members through training, education, setting standards, advocacy and other support.

This ride is not just a sporting challenge; it is a public statement of our values – aiming high, teamwork, resilience, and our mission to deliver better patient outcomes.

Every mile we ride will help fund initiatives that improve and push the boundaries of care, support the people who deliver it, and ensure we continue to innovate for the future.

As President of SCTS I call on you you to stand with TEAM SCTS. Your support, whether through donation, support or advocacy, will help turn our vision into action.

In the picture I am standing with Adam, one of my patients who has recently undergone both heart and lung surgery and is part of our cycle team. Read his story here https://www.justgiving.com/page/adam-waters-1?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL. Our team includes other patients, doctors and nurses. I’m lucky to also have my wife and most of our kids riding!

Together, we can go further, achieve more, and make a lasting difference.

Thank you!
