Crazy Wheelers Kick Cancer With Cycle Challenge
Posted in Hull: City of Culture, tagged All News, Articles, Bicycle, Brighton, Cycling, Family, Features, Health, Hull, Hull Daily Mail, Inspiration, Kingston upon Hull, Latest News, Leukaemia, Life, Local, London, London To Brighton, National, News, Pancreatic Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund, People, Sports, Tandem, Top Stories, Yorkshire on July 5, 2013| Leave a Comment »
A determined family of Yorkshire cyclists conquered rolling hills, slipped chains and a puncture to complete a gruelling 75 mile bike marathon.
The Crazy Wheelers team; comprising Gary Stephenson, son Harry (16), brother-in-law Allan Davidson and nephew Lex (13) cycled from London to Brighton to encourage sponsorship and raise awareness for the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund.
Gary lost his father-in-law, Pat Sullivan to pancreatic cancer last year within weeks of a surprise diagnosis and with survival rates for the disease especially low, at just 3%, the need to fund ongoing research is vital.
The Wheelers journey is even more incredible as their youngest member, Lex Stephenson is already familiar with the devastating effects of cancer having battled leukaemia since the age of 4. Lex, who is now in remission, continues to receive considerable support from local and national childhood cancer charities and wanted to extend his fundraising to help other organisations.
At the time of writing the team have raised over £1,700 of their £2,000 target and are still accepting donations now their challenge is complete. It is easy and safe to donate online via the following link…

London To Brighton ~ Pedalling To Beat Pancreatic Cancer

A brave and determined Yorkshire schoolboy is set to cycle an astonishing 75 miles to raise funds for the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund (registered charity no. 1103253).
Lex Stephenson, age 13, will be taking part in the Capital To Coast Cycle Challenge on Sunday 30th June 2013, starting at The London Eye and finishing at Brighton Pier. Lex will be riding as part of a four man team, The Crazy Wheeler’s, with his Dad, his Uncle and his sixteen year old cousin. The Wheelers were inspired to take part in the fundraising challenge after losing a family member to Pancreatic Cancer suddenly last year.
Lex hopes his 75 mile journey will raise awareness of the vital need to fund research into cures for all types of cancer. In 2004, when he was just four years old, Lex was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and underwent a gruelling three years of continual chemotherapy treatment. Despite great discomfort and long stays in hospital Lex continued to ride his bike regularly and believes that fresh air and exercise helped him to stay fit and keep positive throughout his illness and recuperation. Lex remains in remission and celebrated the end of his treatment with a Star Wars Fundraising Party for Children With Cancer UK (registered charity no. 298405).
During the last forty years survival rates for Childhood Leukaemia have risen from few to 80% whilst survival rates for Pancreatic Cancer remain low at just 3%. Lex is now focusing his continuing fundraising efforts towards helping to beat a deadly disease in need of greater awareness.
You can read about Lex’s bike ride challenge and support him with an immediate donation via the link below. If everyone who reads his story shares it and donates £1 Lex will be well on his way to reaching his fundraising target.
