We are raising funds for Brain Tumour Research and Kidney Care Gibraltar two vital causes that deeply affect countless lives.

The group hopes to inspire the community, emphasising how medical advancements in both areas can bring about significant changes. Early diagnosis of brain tumours can save lives, while kidney transplants provide patients with a second chance at a healthy life.

Supporters are encouraged to cheer the cyclists on as they complete this extraordinary feat and to donate generously on their Just Giving Page to these critical causes.

Jimmy Alcantara organising the event said.

Unfortunately my wife Daphne was diagnosed too late with a benign brain tumour and needed invasive surgery. Sadly she did not survive this and passed away in June of last year. Early diagnosis is key to surviving a brain tumour. Although raising funds for Research is one of the aims of this challenge. Raising awareness is just as important. Early Diagnosis saves lives.

Whilst Sunil Chandiramani on behalf of Kidney Care Gibraltar, said “ We are deeply honoured to be part of this incredible initiative. This journey not only represents the remarkable dedication of these cyclists but also highlights the importance of raising awareness for critical health issues. Early diagnosis is a game-changer – whether it’s detecting brain tumours or ensuring timely intervention for kidney diseases.”

“The funds raised will go towards supporting vital patient care and dialysis patients through their treatment and, to those who receive the gift of life, to help them in their recovery and wellbeing. We urge the community to come together, cheer on these cyclists, and contribute to this noble cause. Together, we can make a lasting impact on countless lives.”
