CHARITY
"MATTHEW EAGLE
In February 2023, I lost my dad to a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. There are hereditary factors in the condition and my dad had already lost his own father (my grandad) in 2001 to a ruptured aneurysm and it’s very likely that I, along with others in my family, will be susceptible later on in our lives. Currently, there are no drugs to treat an AAA and surgery is very risky. 80% of men in the UK will not survive a ruptured aneurysm and it accounts for 1 in 50 deaths of men aged over 65 every year. The Oxford Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Study aims to improve the understanding of aneurysm progression in humans which will lead to new risk stratification strategies for patients with AAAs in the future. The money received from any donations towards our bike ride from London to Paris will be vital in allowing them to break more boundaries with their research and hopefully save many lives."
Collectively we have decided on Matty's choice of charity for our 24-hour cycling challenge. All your kind donations will be greatfully received on behalf of, OXAAA (Oxford Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Study).
Below I have added a link for you to view all the information on our chosen charity.
LONDON TO PARIS
On the 5th of May 2023, ten riders listed below will be taking part of our 160 mile cycle to Paris.
Starting our challenge from Buckingham Palace, we will bike 58 miles to Newhaven. Then board the ferry for the 4-hour journey to Dieppe. Arriving at Dieppe, we then start our 104 mile journey to Arc De Triomphe.
Closer to the date I will upload the full itinerary for you to follow us on our journey. Throughout, riders will be posting pictures and videos on socials, also this page will be updated for anyone not on social media.
We would like to thank you in advance for your kind donations.
