The Penguin Peloton - Guy’s Hospital to Brittany May 2025
The Penguin Peloton will cycle over 500 km from Guys Hospital Tower via Portsmouth, St Malo, Mont St Michel, Granville, The Normandy Beaches, Ouistreham and Portsmouth back to Guys Hospital, from May 23rd to 26th 2025, to raise £50, 000 for the registered charity Penguins Against Cancer (PAC). PAC exists to: Raise Cancer Awareness and make financial grants to support Cancer Research, Cancer Treatment and Hospices. PAC provides funding for the Fergus Scholefield Cancer Research Fund set up in honour of a brave young boy who sadly died before his third birthday, for the Chris Howell Urological Cancer Research Fund, the Ruth Prosser Women's Cancer Research Fund and the Simon Lau Memorial Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund. PAC has no administrative or running costs, all expenses being met by individual PAC Members. All money PAC receives goes directly to support the fight against cancer. We need your support so please give generously (accounts of previous fundraising initiatives, including videos, are at https://www.penguinsagainstcancer.org.uk/ under Events).
