Do your Personal Best for CFC to help more children living with cancer to get active across the UK. You don't have to set a new world record, but challenge yourself either in something you love doing or why not try something completely different!

Story

After promising myself a year off fundraising for CFC I have decided to go all in and try and raise £3000. My challenge is the sternest yet..On the 7th of August I will set off from London on my bike and aim to ride to Edinburgh and back in under 120 hours. That's nearly 900 miles in under 5 days. London Edinburgh London is the UKs premier Audax (long distance cycle) and is a once every 4 year event. Please support me by giving donations to Cyclists fighting Cancer. For those that followed me last year this will be twice as tough as last years Bryan Chapman memorial ride.

Approximately 2,400 children and young people (up to, and including the age of 18) are diagnosed with cancer each year in the UK. We are passionate about helping all of these families along this difficult journey. We help children to regain their physical fitness and mental wellness by giving them new bikes, adapted trikes and specialist support during treatment and into recovery.Since the charity began in 2005 we have awarded over 8,000 bikes and trikes and we can only continue to do this with the support of our amazing fundraisers!
