Since the first Santa Cycle in 2013, the event has raised more than £35,000 for FORCE Cancer Charity which has helped us continue supporting local people affected by cancer.
Helen (pictured right) took on the Santa Cycle as a challenge to build up her confidence on a bike back in 2016 and since then has raised more than £1,600 for FORCE!
Helen and her family take part every year. For them our Santa Cycle is “an annual family event and it wouldn’t feel like Christmas without it!”
Anybody can take part in Santa Cycle and do their bit in helping to build cancer support right here in Devon.
Why not sign up and fundraise as a group or get the little ones a sponsorship form to take into school when they return for the new term. Six miles is no easy challenge for little legs or someone who hasn’t cycled in a long time!
