Set up by a team of sports enthusiasts, all of whom have lost a family member or a friend to cancer, 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 and how it can help with cancer prevention and recovery.
Pete & Eli Lovell are taking it a stage further and making it personal! Eli is sailing and Pete is cycling.
By comparison, Pete will travel via the longest possible coastal route which measures 201.4 land miles. What's more he will have to climb 4,254 metres over the course distance - that's the equivalent of 4 times up Snowdon.
SO... Will the BOATS (Eli) beat the BIKES to Brighton Marina? Or will the BIKES (Pete) triumph???
“I am an experienced sailor having sailed my whole life but I haven’t previously raced. Having had a baby in February I am keen for a challenge other than dirty nappies… I’m doing the challenge racing my husband who is on the cycling team. In between juggling work and a baby I enjoy competing my horse in eventing and walking my dog Murphy.”
"I am getting back into cycling after taking a bit of time out, having just had our first baby. With Eli, my wife, on the sailing team I am keen to be a bit of competition. So after mum having a scare last year with cancer I feel this is a great cause and look forward to supporting Bike4Cancer at this year’s event."
