Story

In June 2024 the ElectricCranks will be cycling along the North Wales coast from South Stack Anglesey to Chester over three days making even more people aware of cardiac failure, organ donation and fundraising for New Start Charity Wythenshawe Hospital.

In June 2023 the ElectricCranks cycled for three days from Grange-over-Sands over the Pennines to Sunderland to complete our second coast to coast ride fundraising for New Start Charity Wythenshawe Hospital. We were joined along the route by the BBC Countryfile team with presenter Joe Crowley and featured in their ‘Cycling in the countryside’ episode aired on 16th July. It is available on BBC iPlayer.

In June 2022 Bob, Ian & Peter cycled from Bowness on Solway to South Shields along the course of Hadrian’s Wall, incidentally exactly 1900 years after it was first completed. Due to unforeseen illness Ged & Chris had to postpone their involvement and cycled the route later that year in September.

Our efforts are always greatly supported and much appreciated by Abbott Laboratories, the American multinational medical devices and health care company and makers of the LVAD HeartMate III.
