Wirral 'Leukaemia Research Fund' Bikeathon

The volunteers of the Wirral branch of the leukaemia Research Fund are organising their fifth annual bike ride through the Wirral on Sunday 8th June 2003 to raise money by sponsorship to support the activities of the fund both locally and nationally. Two routes of 13 and 26 miles are available: Both start and finish in Arrowe Country Park (Golf course entrance), Upton, Wirral.

This is a fun day out for individuals and families (minimum age of 8 for children) and groups from all sectors and professional organisations, for example, industry, Schools, sports clubs, leisure clubs, pubs, etc. The bikeathon is a bike ride, not a race. There will be marshals along the route and the St Johns Ambulance Service will be present.

cure for leukaemia and other blood disorders, with only £0.05p
going towards administration costs.

A message from Michelle Lineker…
(Patron of Leukaemia Research Events)

Come and join thousands of cyclists across the UK having fun and getting fit in the fight against leukaemia! By saddling up and getting sponsored to complete your local bikeathon, you are part of the nationwide effort by Leukaemia Research to save lives.
