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.
Mark will be taking part in the Ark to Arc challenge to raise funds for Bike 4 Cancer and the Ark Cancer Centre Charity!
On the 12 July 2017 Mark 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.
Mark 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, Mark said:
"On 13th November 2015 my life changed forever.
My Dad lost his battle against cancer in St Michael’s Hospice in the very room my Mum had died 10 years before.
I had joined the millions of people out there who'd lost loved ones to this evil disease, taking away a Mum… Dad… Granddad… Brother… Sister… Auntie… Uncle... Friend.
Since my Mum passed away, I’ve been determined to do all I can to help raise money and awareness of Cancer and the damage it causes. I’ve jumped out of planes and run half marathons but by far the best thing I have done so far was being part of the JOGLE 16 team last year. We had such an amazing bunch of people and a real camaraderie, with all of us pulling each other along.
So, as soon as we were finished I immediately thought what next and the Ark to Arc was on!
I can’t wait to get started and hope to make more memories that will last a lifetime, as well as getting to put my lycra back on! Let’s make a difference and get this thing built!"
