The Cycle Taiwan team arrived safely back on UK soil on Sunday and are hopefully now enjoying a well deserved rest! Their last two days in the Far East took in the spectacular Toroko Gorge before finishing with a day to relax in cosmopolitan Taipei.
After the exertions of the previous day the final 55km proved little challenge and the team rolled over the finish line together. Writing on the MGF blog, Paula describes the feelings of the whole team as they completed their challenge:
Reaching that finish line was the most amazing feeling ever! I must say this challenge has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do but I have loved every minute of it! Although to be honest I would have loved there to have been a day 6!!
The MGF blog gives a great account of the highs and lows of the challenge so if you haven’t read it yet it’s certainly worth checking out.
On the last evening the team had one final meal before their flight home. Sam held an impromptu award ceremony with prizes given out for everything from most caring hands to dirtiest legs.
From everyone here at Clatterbridge Cancer Research we want to say a big thank you and well done to the Cycle Taiwan team! By taking up this challenge they’ve enabled us to continue investing in pioneering research, helping us to understand cancer by developing new and more effective treatments, improving diagnosis and getting to the causes of cancer earlier.
So thank you once again from us all!
