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.
Andy takes on the Ark to Arc challenge to raise funds for Bike 4 Cancer and the Ark Cancer Centre Charity!
On the 12 July 2017 Andy will set off on his epic Ark to Arc challenge leaving from the Ark Cancer Centre in Basingstoke and cycling to Porstmouth before getting the overnight ferry to Caen in aid of Bike 4 Cancer and the Ark Cancer Centre Charity.
Andy will then spend a further 3 days in the saddle cycling from Caen to Alencon and then onto Evreux finally finishing in Paris!

Commenting on his challenge, Andy said:
"Joggle 16 was such a great experience, for someone who had no idea of what was involved and had never owned a ‘proper’ bike and even less of an idea how to change a puncture it was going to be a challenge and it certainly turned out that way.
However, it was so much more than I expected. The spirit, the camaraderie and sense of achievement at the end was wonderful, but that was me done - money raised, now to get back to normal life.
It was only on the way home from Land’s End that I really appreciated what a massive task of raising the money was going to be with Mark Jones explaining just how much more was needed and, more importantly, how much the Ark Cancer Centre was needed. It was at that point I know I would get involved again with The Ark Charity again.
So when I was asked by Ark Riders about joining Ark to Arc, the conversation went:
Wine - tick
Cheese - tick
One night in Paris - tick
Less hills then Cornwall - double tick
Where do I sign!
So please give generously to two very worthy of causes."
