Apr 24 - Charity Cycle Ride From Alhama De Granada To Gibraltar To Raise Money For Various Charities

Written by YGTV Team on 24 April 2017.

Three Officers from the Association of Borders and Coastguard Officers are taking on a challenging cycle ride from the Alhama de Granada to Gibraltar via the TransAndalus route.

SBCO Charles Gonzalez, BCO Dwayne Ignacio and BCO Jayden Benyunes will be setting off on the 9th of May and the three-day off-road route will cover more than 300km over a 6,000 metre accumulated elevation gain.

All monies raised will go to three charities selected by these officers. These charities are Rock Fitness Charity which helps people with disabilities through fitness, Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital Charity in London and Cancer Research UK (Gibraltar Branch).

The Association has set up a JustGiving page for those wishing to donate online at https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/abcocharityride  

On Wednesday 26th April 2017 they will have a 12-hour static bike marathon outside Morrison’s Supermarket and a Family Bingo night at the Laguna Social Club on Friday 19th May 2017 with bingo books being sold at £10 each via https://www.facebook.com/ABCO.2017.Charity.Ride/.

All proceeds raised during these fundraising events go entirely towards the charities as the riders’ costs have already been covered by ABCO.
