Launch is supporting the FORCE Cancer Charity Autumn Bike Ride initiative this November, but rather than being out on the road, we’ll be pedaling our little socks off from underneath our desks.

With the help of a fleet of mini pedal exercisers, which fit underneath our desks, we will pedal as far as we can over the coming four weeks of lockdown while at work.

Every week the leading cyclist will wear a yellow jersey, a nod to the tradition that exists in the Tour de France where the best rider is recognised by wearing a distinctive yellow cycling top. You’ll be able to follow the leaderboard here...

On December 2, we will collect the money raised and donate to the FORCE Cancer Charity, based in Exeter.

Force Cancer Charity is an Exeter based cancer support charity. This year is its 10th anniversary of the charity’s Autumn Bike Ride fundraiser. Although it can’t run these popular events this Autumn due to Covid, they are encouraging people to cycle any way they can to raise funds.

About Force Cancer Charity :

Since FORCE (Friends of the Oncology and Radiotherapy Centre, Exeter) was first registered as a charity in 1987 it has developed a vital role in providing local cancer services. Our work is founded on the belief that anyone diagnosed with cancer deserves the best possible support and treatment close to home. We initially operated out of a small room at the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital and had no full time employees. Driven by the desire to improve support for local cancer patients, FORCE has grown into one of the region’s most loved and respected charitable organisations.
