On 6th September 2026 17 ladies, all members of Beat Bike, a St Albans based cycling club, are setting off to cycle from Lands’ End to John O’Groats - approximately 1000 miles. We aim to take 14 days, averaging 71 miles a day, and arriving in John O’Groats on 19th September.

The BB LEJOG team would like to use this opportunity to fundraise for a number of charities including Macmillan Cancer Support. Many of us have been touched by cancer whether individually or know family members or a close friends that have.

Some of you will already know that I’ve been through breast cancer twice over the past three years, with my second diagnosis coming in September 2025. Thankfully on both occasions with amazing medical care, incredible support from friends and family, and from MacMillan, who allowed me access to a wonderful nurse called Amber Dance, I am cancer free. None of us knows when we or someone we know may need their services. I’ve been so very lucky and feel privileged to be able to get on my bike and take on this challenge with all the wonderful Beat Bike ladies.

Macmillan Cancer Support needs roughly £240 million to £265 million per annum in total funding and voluntary donations to maintain its annual operations, specialist nursing, and financial grant services. Approximately 98% of this required operational budget comes directly from voluntary donations and public fundraising.

Please sponsor our ride and help everyone who needs their care, help and advice.

Thank you for your support.
