We ride again! Phil, Stu, Steve, Dan, Simon and Tux this year took on the epic of cycling across Italy, coast to coast, in a Chase the Sun challenge. Starting at 4:30am in Rimini we cycled 285kms (3,300 mtrs of elevation) via Florence to arrive in Tirrenia before sunset at 9:30pm.
Many of you whom I've met over the past few weeks and months will have endured me telling you about our next big cycling challenge when we will ride across Italy in a day in support of Ovacome - the ovarian cancer support charity.
Phil Soderberg is our team leader and coordinating the fundraising. We eventually raised 50,000 GBP for the charity, bostly via JustGiving but also though generous matching support from Zurich Insurance.
All of us have ladies in our lives that we hope will never need this support, but will be immensely grateful if it's ever required.
In Memory of Debbie Baldwin
We ride again! Phil, Stu, Steve, Dan, Simon and Tux will this year take on the epic of cycling across Italy, coast to coast, in a Chase the Sun challenge. Starting at 4:30am in Rimini we will cycle 285kms (3,300 mtrs of elevation) via Florence to arrive in Tirrenia before sunset at 9:30pm.
Why? In 2021, our good friend Debbie lost her brave battle with ovarian cancer. Debbie advocated for early detection of the symptoms of Ovarian cancer which are still not well known or recognised, even by the medical profession. Debbie worked closely with Ovacome raising money for the charity throughout the period of her treatment.
We and Ovacome, would really appreciate your support and it makes such a huge difference to all the guys when we start to suffer (which we all will at some point!):
- Just £10 could pay to train one clinician or medical student on recognising symptoms and patient experience
-£124 could pay for six weeks of online support for someone
