Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We have been inspired by our friends Sally Jennings and Julie Sully to get on our bikes and take positive action in the fight against cervical, ovarian and breast cancers.

From 21 - 29 October 2013 we will be taking part in the Third Women V Cancer Challenge as participants in a women only team of cyclists riding through Cuba to support the work of three Charities; Breast Cancer Care, Cervical Cancer, Ovarian Cancer Action and a donation will also be made to support Cancer Care in Cuba.

The group will cycle around 400KM over five days, both on and off road, experiencing rural Cuba away from the usual tourist trails.  It will be a journey full of fun, friendship and incredible support as women of all ages and walks of life to come together to challenge themselves for a great cause.

As well as training very hard, we will be funding our own transport and accommodation costs as our donation to these causes.  On top of this, we would like to raise a minimum target of £3,000 to support the work of these charities, and would be very grateful for your support.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
