CYCLISTS FIGHTING CANCER enables children and young people living with cancer across the UK to regain their physical fitness and mental wellness by giving them new bikes, adapted trikes, tandems, other equipment and support. Physical activity is a key element in rehabilitation from treatments.

-----------------------------------------

I have adopted a lower impact lifestyle. This aims to limit my impact on the environment, changing how I do things.

When I travel for work I have to opt for the lowest carbon transport. As much as is possible of the journey will be via a folding bike.

This is part of an ongoing money raising commitment to cancer fighting charities following the loss of my close friend in 2024. Since then I've been donating cycle parts and bikes, clothes and selling second hand objects and donating the proceeds.

-----------------------------

I'm choosing CFC for this activity. Approximately 2,400 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer each year in the UK. We help them regain physical and mental wellness by giving them new bikes, adapted trikes and specialist support during treatment and into recovery. We've awarded over 9,000 bikes and trikes so far...
