Day 4 of cycling is the big one. The team will be taking on 110km through the course of the day including a 7km uphill stretch, or as Sam would say 7ks of “undulations”.
We received an update from Sam last night with the latest news and a few more pictures – to see these photos just visit our Facebook page.
Everyone is having a wonderful experience and Sam says the entire team are doing really well. Even though they’re pretty exhausted, every single member is showing unbelievable grit and determination. The whole team has really come together, offering support to ensure they all make it to the finish line each day.
We’re really proud of them all for taking up the challenge and raising sponsorship to support Clatterbridge Cancer Research. The funds they have raised will ensure we remain at the forefront of the regional fight for cancer by developing new and more effective treatments, improving diagnosis and getting to the causes of cancer earlier.
Sam also said the support team following the cyclists have been amazing – it must be reassuring to know there is a car following to help out if there are any issues.
Back in the office, we’re all following Sam’s progress closely and everyone is really impressed with the photos that are being sent to us – we’re all wishing we could be there to support Sam and the team. It’s certainly made many of us interested in Cycle the Nile, a similar event which will take place next November. One person from the office has already signed up and is starting to look at a fundraising plan which is a great start.
We’ve had lots of enquiries about Cycle the Nile, which already looks set to be another successful fundraiser, so if you’re interested please get in touch as we only have a limited number of spaces. Just visit www.clatterbridge.org or call 0151 343 4300.
We wish the Cycle Taiwan team luck for their remaining cycling days and look forward to receiving more updates from Sam!
