Gears & Gorges: Taking on the Mendip Hills!

Simon Fisher is raising money for Alzheimer's Research UK

Team: Four chaps on push bikes fundraising for Alzheimer's Research UK

UKCE The Mendips Classic · 12 July 2025 ·

Alzheimer's Research UK are proud partners of UK Cycling Events. Join #TeamARUK at a UK Cycling Event and know you’re helping to fund the life-changing research that will lead us to better treatments, and ultimately, a cure for dementia.

Story

On 12th July, I’ll be taking on the Mendip Classic — a challenging 77-mile cycle ride — to raise funds for Alzheimer’s Research UK, the UK’s leading dementia research charity.

I’ll be joined by three friends, James, Alex and Dan, as we tackle steep climbs, including the notorious Cheddar Gorge. It promises to be a real test of endurance, but we’re determined to give it our all for an important cause.

As a former researcher now working on behalf of a charitable organisation, I appreciate just how vital donations are in enabling ground-breaking research to take place. Your support will help drive the development of new treatments and earlier ways to diagnose dementia, work that can truly change patients' lives.

Every three minutes, dementia steals a happily ever after. Research is our only chance of changing the ending for people affected by dementia.
