About Cyclists Fighting Cancer


Tags: Cancer Child healthcare Health & Medical Children & Education

Every year in the UK approximately 2,400 children up to and including the age of eighteen are diagnosed with cancer.

We help children and young people living with cancer across the UK regain their physical fitness, improve mental wellness and reduce social isolation by giving them new lightweight bikes, specially adapted trikes, cycling related equipment and support.

Since 2005 we have helped over 9,000 families and we are passionate about sharing the benefits of exercise and activity for people living with and beyond cancer.

Your Impact

It is now known that physical activity is safe, beneficial and recommended for all children and adolescents affected by cancer. It is recognised as one of the most effective ways of improving physical and psychological health and wellbeing for children being treated for cancer and beyond; reducing the impact of some of the side effects of treatment, whilst promoting independence, peer support and self-confidence.

Our lightweight bikes and specially adapted trikes provide a unique way to encourage this much needed exercise and activity. Allowing these children to get outside and get active, as well as having some much needed fun too!

96% of the children we support advise that having their CFC bike encourages them to spend more time outside.
