Story

UPDATE: Our 2nd attempt to take part in a Women vs Cancer charity cycle was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic. The Fairy Bikers team transferred onto the 2022 Cycle Croatia Challenge. We were lucky to secure the last 8 places! In September 2022, we will be pedalling from Split to Dubrovnik along the Dalmatian Coast. Thanks from the bottom of our ❤️‘s to you all for your ongoing support.

Our Mission:

On a cold December day in 2019, our dear friend, Tracy, decided she wanted a challenge and thought it would be a good idea to sign up for London to Amsterdam 2021 cycling challenge (a mere 473kms) in aid of three amazing women's cancer charities. Within a few weeks, we became a team of 8 cycling enthusiasts, calling ourselves The Fairy Bikers and training got underway in March 2020, in the middle of the global Corona pandemic.

With our original London to Amsterdam cycle being cancelled in June, we transferred onto the Milan - Venice challenge which was due to take place in September 2021. Due to the ongoing pandemic, this was also cancelled. We are now busy training to take part in the Croatia Cycle Challenge from Split to Dubrovnik in September 2022.

We appreciate that this is not an easy time to be asking for charitable donations, times are tough for everyone, all over the world. If our three women's cancer charities mean something to you, here is a good opportunity to make a difference, no matter how small, every little cent adds up and counts. Money and donations aside, we totally appreciate all of your support, encouragement and love as we pedal our way to our final goal.

Let's all keep fighting cancer together. Thanks from The Fairy Bikers!
