Cycling through Cuba
Cycle Cuba 2009 - 15th November 2009

Team Cuba Cycle rises to the challenge & raises £25,000 for our cancer patients

Our 15 Cuba Cycle participants returned safely to the UK on 23rd November following their ‘exhilarating’ experiences in Cuba. Without exception, each member of the team thoroughly enjoyed the fundraising & fitness challenge, the new friendships, the scenery - the whole ‘adventure’!

Between them an incredible £25k was raised to further enhance patient ‘home comforts’ here at the St James’s Institute of Oncology. Thank you Team Cuba 2009 on behalf of patients & staff

Here are just a few comments from some of our (now!) super-fit cyclists:

‘This was the most challenging thing I have done in my life but the people I have met & the success it has achieved is ten times more than I expected. Very, very rewarding mentally, physically and psychologically’ - Mark

‘Raising funds for a fantastic cause & completing a once in a lifetime challenge is a massive confidence-booster’ - Harriet

‘Cycle Cuba challenge was a fantastic way to meet amazing people, see a wonderful country and get fitter (and thinner!) whilst challenging myself and making a huge difference for this worthwhile charity’ - Angela

‘A really well-organised fantastic trip that was everything it said on the tin! Would definitely do something similar again as it was a perfect combination of physical challenge & seeing the world at the same time’ - Laurie

‘Thank you for the experience of a lifetime’ - Mark

On behalf of patients and staff here at YCC - well done Team Cuba and THANK YOU
