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 in London, Helen, Colin and Mark will cycle to Dover on the first day (75 miles) before catching ferry to Calais. Once on French soil, the team will cycle to Abbeville on day two (76 miles). Day three will see Helen, Colin and Mark ride to Beauvais, a 60 mile trek through hilly forested areas. On the final day they will ride the final 50 miles into Paris to finish in front of the Eiffel Tower!
"In a moment of genius / madness / inspiration (select as appropriate!) we decided as a team to tackle and complete the London to Paris cycle ride. This will involve pedaling (at a gradually slower speed) over 300 miles over the course of 4 days and I'm sure getting to know one another in a truly unique way!!
The true motivation for this however is to raise money for a great cause - we all unfortunately have either lost someone, or know someone bravely battling Cancer at the moment and so any opportunity to contribute to helping find a cure for this disease is always welcome. Our fundraising target is £4,500 collectively and so on that note, we would all appreciate any donation you are able to make no matter how big or small.
And yes for those of you wondering, we will have costumes tied into our theme that will be worn for at least one of the days, photographic evidence of which will be supplied!"
