Set up by a team of cycling enthusiasts, all of whom have lost a family member or a friend to cancer, Bike 4 Cancer is primarily a provider of days out and short-breaks for British families affected by cancer.
We also make grants to UK based care institutions and support research into the positive effects of exercise (e.g. cycling) and how it can help with cancer prevention and recovery.
Starting on Clapham Common, the route travels through Mitcham, Carshalton, Chipstead, Banstead and Haywards Heath before finishing in front of Brighton Pier.
Mike, Graham and Dave will have to tackle the fearsome Ditchling Beacon at the end of the 54 mile route - the highest point in East Sussex at 814 feet above sea level!
Commenting on their challenge, Mike, Graham and Dave share why the bike ride is important to them:
Mike from CrystalClearFS said "The work that Bike 4 Cancer does in giving families respite is incredibly important, and can often be underestimated in terms of its impact and benefits that it can provide not only to those suffering from cancer, but also those around them. This is very close to home for me and the opportunity to ride for this amazing charity is a real privilege."
Graham Precey said “Brownie and I have been on many adventure as part of the infamous Easter Curry Club. I’m only going because he needs someone to push him up Ditching Beacon!. On a serious note the last time I got on a bike I came off and broke some ribs and lost some skin! Getting back on will be a challenge but not as much as those going through treatment for cancer.”
Dave Robertson said "I have not been on a bike for circa 5 years. The opportunity to do this with a couple of extraordinary athletes was to good to miss. Also Mike and Graham are doing it and it is for a great charity."
