Please spare a few quid to support those in need.

Wirral Bikeathon 2025

As well as an event to encourage the people of Wirral to go out and cycle 13 or 26 miles along a relatively safe route, this year’s Wirral Bikeathon is raising funds for the UTS Foundation.

The UTS Foundation was established in January 2016 with the aim of transforming the lives of cancer patients and disadvantaged young people across The Wirral – by providing physical and mental health support, resources, and mentorship.

The foundation operates a full programme of fitness and wellbeing sessions to support cancer rehabilitation, promote good mental health, improve nutrition and address isolation.

I would not normally consider cycling the Wirral Bikeathon but, as I have recently joined the UTS Foundation, and am already feeling the benefits of my weekly circuit training sessions, I am very keen to add my support to this well intentioned charity by taking part and at the same time trying to raise a few bob so that what I consider to be very laudable intentions may continue to help others.
