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.
The Stelvio Pass is an iconic climb in Italy and arguably the most famous in the Giro d'Italia. It was once described by Lance Armstrong as the "toughest hill I have ever climbed."
Now it's Grant's turn to do battle with the mighty Stelvio (2,758m) and cycle the longest route available which is 151.3 km (no easy feat as you will see from the route image)!
"I am taking on this adventure as would like to raise money to help more people affected by cancer. We all know someone who has been affected by this cruel disease and Iโm doing my bit to help those that have. So please dig deep and help me to raise some much needed fundsโ.
