"I could never ever have imagined that a year on our own Mum would have been calling upon the services of this incredible hospital. Suddenly the 2016 cycle challenge was high on our radar." 

4Challenge is a way of making a tangible difference and helping families just like The Whites. Catherine White and her two children Jack Thomas and Isabelle Mae, lost husband and father, Neil, to skin cancer in August 2015.

After 4 days covering over 300 miles up and down dale, in scarce sunshine and plentiful wind and rain, the rapturous welcome in Weston Park was a welcome reward.

A well timed reminder of why 4Challenge really matters came on Friday evening after day 1 riding from Edinburgh to Lockerbie. 

The simple truth is that without fundraising and support, Weston Park Hospital will not have the funds required to run many of the support and research projects that are currently transforming lives.

How do you communicate in 60 seconds the reason why 4Challenge is so important? Why we are taking a such physically and logistically challenging task, and travelling hundreds of miles on two wheels. Last week Fluid HD arrived at ASK4 HQ in Sheffield to help us do just that. The result?

Did you know the reason that we’re taking on another 4Challenge is you?The scary fact is by 2020 1 in 2 of us will be affected by cancer in our lifetimes - 1 in 2. Take a look at the people around you and think about that stat. That includes you, members of your family, people you work with and your closest friends.

Last night the 4Challenge riders, support crew and team from Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity got together at ASK4 HQ fire the "five weeks to go" starting gun!
