Back in March we set ourselves the challenge to ride 10,000 miles to raise money for Cyclists Fighting Cancer!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately there are very few who haven\u2019t been affected in one way or another by cancer and it\u2019s even more heart-breaking to see when it\u2019s a child who is suffering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approximately 2,400 children and young people up to the age of 18 are diagnosed with cancer every year in the UK, and Cyclists Fighting Cancer have been working tirelessly since 2005 to help families along this difficult journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donating to Cyclists Fighting Cancer allows the charity to provide brand new lightweight bikes, tandems and specially adapted trikes to children and young people living with (and beyond) cancer throughout the UK. We’re a company full of keen cyclists who know all too well the relief that life on two wheels can bring, so we felt this was a more than worthy cause to align with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fundraising took place on our Just Giving page, with collection boxes also being posted at the counter of each of our 12 stores. All types of cycling, including turbo training\/Zwift etc counted and mileage was tracked on Strava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In total we completed 13,776 Miles!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
