UK Charity Bike Rides Raise Over £40,000 for Mental Health and Safety

Multiple cycling events held recently have celebrated both community spirit and mental health awareness. In the West Midlands, the Cameron Grant Memorial Trust organized a successful bike ride raising over £40,000 to support young people suffering from mental distress and encourage them to seek help. Similarly, a charity ride in Newport, Shropshire, was organized in memory of Gary Wheeler to raise funds for the Farm Safety Foundation and promote open conversations about mental health among cyclists. Meanwhile, in the Philippines, the historic Baguio City to Tagaytay road race coincided with the inauguration of the country's first indoor velodrome, marking a significant milestone for Philippine cycling and fostering athletic development. Additionally, the British Heart Foundation's London to Brighton Bike Ride is expected to attract 14,000 cyclists to raise money for various health charities. In Glasgow, a care home partnered with Cycling Without Age Scotland to provide scenic rides for elderly residents, enhancing community connection and wellbeing.
