Story

The LEJoG Sisters are back pedalling in 2024 as Spin on the Square returns to Lichfield!

A day of brilliant, big-hearted bikers going that extra mile without moving an inch as they jump on exercise bikes in the Market Square and attempt to ride the length of the country for a super cause.

It's 10 hours, 1,000 miles and a whopping £10,000 fundraising target.

Will you help us get there?

Pedalling to beat childhood cancer

Every year, 1,800 children are diagnosed with cancer. Heartbreakingly, 240 of those children die from cancer every year. That’s 1,800 families whose lives are turned upside down, and 240 families whose lives will never be the same again.

Spin on the Square, organised by the LEJoG Sisters is raising funds for Children with Cancer UK: a charity on a mission to help every child survive cancer.

Children with Cancer UK provide the vital support families need when their child is being treated for cancer. And thanks to Children with Cancer UK’s work over the past 35 years, advances of in detection, treatment and care mean that 84% of child cancer patients now survive for 5 years or more.

Thanks from the LEJoG Sisters

Hello! We're the LEJoG Sisters - Dawn & Sharon - two 60-something sisters from Staffordshire.

Last year we puffed, panted & pedalled the length of the country raising over £27,000 for the fight against childhood cancer - in memory of Dawn's son, Christopher, who died of a brain tumour aged just 6.

After the success of last year’s Spin on the Square and our 1,062 mile LEJOG to raise money for Children with Cancer UK, we’re excited to be back with our second annual Spin on the Square.

Thanks for anything you can give to help us meet our target.

Raising for Children with Cancer UK

Anything you donate will go towards helping every child and young person survives cancer.

For over 35 years, Children with Cancer UK has funded much needed research into the causes of childhood cancers, and the development of better, kinder treatments as well as funding initiatives that support children and their families through cancer treatment and beyond.

Their work has contributed significantly to a marked increase in childhood cancer survival rates and improved quality of life for patients.

But there's still so much more to do.

So please give what you can.
