Join cyclists and runners to unite for one day for a common cause – to raise funds that will significantly impact cancer care for young patients across London and the South-East. Our mission is to enhance these brave young people by providing AV1 No isolation Robots, ground-breaking technology that facilitates education and connection during and after treatment. Simple but ingenious, the AV1 robot empowers young cancer and leukaemia patients to attend school virtually, enabling them to socialise with classmates and stay connected to normal life. The charity aims to deploy as many AV1 Robots as needed to ensure no young person suffers disadvantage or exclusion due to their illness.

Special guest, Olympic Cyclist and pundit, Brian Smith, will be commentating the events from the GP Grandstand where spectators will get to experience the exciting atmosphere at Brands Hatch.

If you would like to take part but not fundraise, you can still join in the fun for a £40 registration fee.
