Shipston man will cycle 900 miles in 120 hours for cancer charity

Carl Matthews aims to raise £3000 for the national children's cancer charity, Cyclists Fighting Cancer (CFC) by riding from London to Edinburgh and then back to London again in 120 hours.

CFC does work that helps children and young people that are living with cancer in the UK regain their physical fitness, improve their mental wellness and reduce their social isolation by giving them bikes and adapted trikes and tandems.

Carl Matthews said: “Undertaking the UK’s premier long distance cycle solo is going to be a gruelling challenge, especially in this summer heat!, but the inspiration of Cyclists Fighting Cancer’s fantastic work to support children and young people living with cancer across the UK, as well as people’s generous donations, will keep me pedalling!”
