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.
David takes on the L'Etape du Tour to raise funds for Bike 4 Cancer!
On the 16 July 2017 David Lain will leave to take on the epic cycle challenge L'Etape du Tour in aid of Bike 4 Cancer.The L'Étape du Tour is one of the hardest one-day cycling events in the world.
Every year around 13,000 lucky riders get the chance to ride a mountain stage of the Tour de France, just a few days before the professional riders cover the same route.
Always run on one of the rest days of the Tour de France, the L'Étape du Tour is run on closed roads and has the same support cars and police outriders as the actual Tour.
Now it's David's turn to take part in this awesome challenge!
Commenting on his challenge, David said:
"Okay, so it's a long way and quite hilly. Some Alpine Cols en route. The Tour de France tries it a few days later. (I should have finished by then. I hope!)
But I'm doing it all for a great cause.
I want to raise some money for bike4cancer. They're a specialist cancer charity with a sporting focus. They provide relief from the difficulties of living with cancer - through respite days and short-breaks for British families, some of which are cycling related. They make grants to UK based care institutions and support research into the positive effects of exercise (e.g. cycling) and how it can help both prevent cancer and assist in recovery post diagnosis.
From personal experience I know how cycling can play a key part when recovering from illness. And I think this cause to raise some cash 4 cancer, and this challenge, is a fantastic way to support their ongoing work.
I hope you'll choose to pledge some sponsorship for me at this year's L'Etape du Tour 2017!"
Lots of thanks in advance,
David
