150Miles for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (in one go!) · 29 September 2024

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Take on our '5 a day' challenge to raise awareness and support for the 5 children diagnosed with cancer everyday in the UK. Cycle 5 miles a day or 150 miles throughout the month to show your support.

Story

5 children are diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK, that's 150 children during this September and 1,800 new cases every year.

Cancer is the leading cause of death in children in the UK, and while survival rates are increasing, so are long term ill health side effects from the cancer itself and/or it's treatments.

Exercise and activity have been proven to be the single most effective way of improving physical and mental wellness for people surviving cancer and what better way for children than cycling; it is low impact, outdoor, sociable and fun!

On the 29th September, we are riding as a team and will pedal 150miles, in solidarity with every one of those children diagnosed during September, and all Children living with cancer.

We help 700 children every year to get pedalling by providing them with new lightweight bikes, specially adapted trikes, tandems, tag-a-longs, exercise bikes, cycling-related equipment and support. They make a huge positive impact on their physical, mental and social wellbeing during their treatment and into rehabilitation. We have never failed to get a child pedalling yet!
