Please support ’12 Hours for Pedal Power’ taking place at Maindy Veledrome on the 17th August
Please help us to make our sponsored cycle challenge – 12 Hours for Pedal Power – a success!
As many of you already know, this is proving to be a financially challenging year for Pedal Power. It’s also our 30th anniversary! In 1996, Sybil Williams (now MBE) set up a small project for disabled cyclists from a single shipping container at Ely Hospital in Cardiff. A lot has changed since then, but Sybil’s early vision – to include everyone in cycling, irrespective of age or ability – remains our core aim as a charity. To celebrate our incredible 30 years and raise some much-needed funds for Pedal Power, our Trustees are organising a sponsored team cycling challenge – 12 Hours for Pedal Power – and we are asking for your help to spread the word and help to get people to sign up to take part!
