Cycling for leukaemia research



My daughter Sara & I have just completed a tem mile cycle ride to raise money for research into leukaemia and related diseases. For some years my business has supplied cups to to the organisers for use at the water stations and this year it was time to do a little more so I've been chasing people to sponsor me. There was a great spirit among the riders, some of whom were cyling 26 or even 50 miles. We tootled along with the youngsters & thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the Bikeathon, which only happens due to the hard work & commitment of an army of volunteers. Last year they raised £45,000 and are hoping to do better this year. The cause is so worthwhile I hope they do so.
