Cyclists are being encouraged to support people living with cancer by joining Pete Robinson on Macmillan’s 100-mile bike ride through Dorset on Sunday, July 2.

Poole Wheelers cyclist Pete from Broadstone, who is fighting cancer himself, rode the 100 miles in 2022 and raised £1,895 which made him the top fundraiser of the year.

Pete who is going to take on the 100 miles again said: “I find cycling is helping me in my own battle with cancer and I’m keen to use my passion for cycling to help others affected by the disease”

Of course 100 miles may be too far for some people so shorter distances of 63, 48, and 38 miles are available. All routes start in Corfe Mullen and head towards Blandford beside the River Stour – cyclists can even choose which route they would like to ride on the day, depending on how fit they are feeling.

Each route has its own refreshment stops at regular intervals, so cyclists are well looked after around the course with support from bike mechanics and the post-ride physio.
Macmillan can help people in so many different ways from the time of diagnosis through the time of treatments and beyond.

Macmillan also provides cancer information, support and grants for those in financial difficulty.
