We are Pedalling with Purpose. Let’s take on a virtual ride from Shincliffe to Rome on the concept 2 bikes at Glacier Health and Fitness Club. Across all bikes in the challenge we will cover the distance as a team to put the km in as a representation to the distance between home and where Benny can get his treatment.
Benny is a happy and caring four-year-old who loves dinosaurs, Ninja Turtles, pizza, and dreams of playing for Newcastle United when grows up. In February 2023, at just two years old, he was diagnosed with stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma. After completing treatment in March 2025, he began DFMO, a relapse-prevention drug. Sadly, scans in September showed that Benny’s cancer had returned. His family is now fundraising in the hope that they can travel to Rome for CAR T-cell therapy.
