We help children and young people living with cancer across the UK regain their physical fitness, improve mental wellness and reduce social isolation by giving them new lightweight bikes, specially adapted trikes, cycling related equipment and support.

Since 2005 we have helped over 10,000 families and we are passionate about sharing the benefits of exercise and activity for people living with and beyond cancer.

“I have been working with Cyclists Fighting Cancer (CFC) for the past 15 years in my role at Great Ormond Street and they really are the most wonderful charity. Their ethos of promoting physical activity and exercise is well researched, evidenced and completely on par with our passion for our brilliant children and young people moving through our Cancer Unit.

Cycling is an excellent form of physical activity with so many benefits; low impact, improves cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength, encourages coordination and promotes maintenance of healthy weight and mind. All of these positive effects make it such a brilliant, fun, sociable and accessible activity for so many of our patients, who have varying abilities and disabilities”.
