The Prostate Cancer Charity has teamed up with the Tour of Britain on a new initiatiave Unite ByCycling a new series of cycling events aimed at raising awareness of prostate cancer and of the charity's work.
Unite ByCycling is an initiative set up to raise awareness and support for prostate cancer, which will feature a range of cycling events involving both professional cyclists and the general public. The activity is focussed around the UK’s premier professional cycling race, The Tour of Britain, and will extend to events that amateurs and cyclists of all abilities can enter, all with one goal in mind: to unite people through cycling and raise awareness of prostate cancer.
The first event in the calendar is The Tour Series; a six-week series of city and town centre circuit races featuring the top 10 professional cycling teams in the country. Running from Thursday 21 May to Thursday 25 June (more on that later today).
In the coming weeks, The Tour of Britain and The Prostate Cancer Charity will be announcing a series of participation events, in which the whole family can get involved, with something for cyclists of all ages and abilities. You can pre-register and be first to get event information at www.unitebycycling.org.uk.
