Simon's cycling to change lives

Help me to make a difference to those affected by ovarian cancer!

In Memory of Debbie Baldwin

In 2021, our good friend Debbie lost her courageous battle with ovarian cancer. Whilst it’s important to ride in memory of Debbie and all the positive things she represented, its very much about raising the vital funds Ovacome need to provide training and support for all those impacted by Ovarian cancer.  And that’s where you all come in…

So far YOU have collectively raised just over £130,000 and this year we want to reach £200,000.  Since we started the rides back in 2023 there have been encouraging developments in both diagnosis and treatment of Ovarian cancer but 21 people are diagnosed every day in the UK.  So Ovacome still need your amazing support.

For this year`s challenge we will ride through 6 countries in 48 hours.  Starting in France, we will ride across Switzerland into Germany then down via Austria and Leichenstein for a final climb over the Alps into Italy.  500km and 4,000mtrs of climbing.
