""The bikes we give are brand new, because part of it is the delight of getting a new bike. These kids have been in treatment for so long and can miss out on big stages of development.""
""It's a simple thing, a bike, but it's turned out to be so much more important to them. Kids on bikes, it's a right of passage.""
""It is an honour to do it and also a delight to see the joy on the faces of the children.""
Michael Grisenthwaite, diagnosed with blood cancer in 2000, founded Cyclists Fighting Cancer in 2005 to support children with cancer. The charity provides new bikes, adapted trikes, and cycling equipment to help young patients. Starting from his kitchen, the charity now operates four shops and has given over 10,000 bikes in 21 years. Grisenthwaite emphasizes the joy these bikes bring to children, marking significant milestones in their development during treatment. His efforts have been recognized and celebrated for their impact on countless lives.
