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.
Matt will have to tackle the fearsome Ditchling Beacon at the end of the 58 mile route - the highest point in East Sussex at 814 feet above sea level!
Commenting on his challenge Matt said:
"Oiiy! Stop laughing at my profile picture! :O)
Why? = This is an excellent opportunity to support Bike 4 Cancer and raise funds to help more people affected by cancer.
This is also going to be a big challenge for me, I'm not a cyclist, I've never pedaled this distance in a month let alone in a day, and as you can see from the photo my body is not exactly pristine so I'll be sweating pretty hard all the way if I make it! Well at least I have 7 months to prepare and so I had better use that time wisely!
I think it is a good charity, I will try to make it all the way, so if you would like to support me and Bike 4 Cancer please do donate".
Much love and thanks
Matt
