2026 is here so its time for another bonkers challenge.

My good friends and I are once again raising money for Velindre Hospital to help them to speed up diagnosis and to improve the odds when fighting cancer.

The Hospital of Hope, Velindre has been there to support many of my friends and family in their hardest times, it is an incredible place full of wonderful people.

We as a group are trying to raise £20k to help them improve diagnosis and treatment pathways.

This challenge is a 330km cycle in Spain in May, and by the looks of it mostly uphill...so I will need to finally admit defeat and add hills to my training rides!!

I am very appreciative that I’m often asking my family, friends and colleagues to donate to various challenges and to charity….but here I am again, asking that if you can, please help support our epic challenge, both the cycle and the fundraising goal of £20k.

Thankyou.

Gary and Team Maxwell.
