AS AN admirer of Barry Sheene and a British Superbike champion myself, I would like to encourage readers to take part in the 2008 Barry Sheene Memorial Motorcycle Challenge in aid of CLIC Sargent, the UK's leading children's cancer charity.
This unique challenge give readers the perfect opportunity to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Sheene’s legendary racing career, while taking in some of the finest racing circuits in Europe.
Bikers will ride more than 1400 miles across France and
Spain and have two options to kick start the challenge from 16–24 May or 2-10 June 2008.
The May group will also enjoy the thrill of the Le Mans Grand Prix and the June group will watch the Catalunya Grand Prix. This challenge promises to be the biking adventure of a life time.
Every day in the UK, 10 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer or leukaemia.
The trauma and anxiety felt by families when they hear the news is immeasurable.
CLIC Sargent provides care for them and their families from the moment of diagnosis for as long as it’s needed, both at hospital and in the home.
Call 0845 124 1188 or visit: www.clicsargent.org.uk/challenges today and follow in the tyre tracks of one of the UK’s most iconic biking heroes and help children with cancer.
