The seven cyclists organised this event in memory of their friend Craig Bell, who passed away from cancer in October 2021.
Craig’s brother, Graham, participated in the event and said: “Having experienced the support of Macmillan Jersey first hand, you hope that someone never has to rely on them, though sadly this isn’t the case and any fundraising us as a group can do goes a long way to help those in need.
“I cannot thank this group of guys enough.”

Kevin Alway, Operations and Communications Lead for Macmillan Jersey, added: “Without islanders such as these we simply wouldn’t be able to provide the practical, emotional and wellbeing support to any islander affected by cancer.
“As an island-based charity with no funding from Macmillan UK nor the Government of Jersey, money such as this goes directly to supporting the services we offer to anyone in Jersey; be it those directly diagnosed, their friends, family or co-workers.
“Everyone at Macmillan Jersey would like to thank those who undertook this challenge and their supporters – we simply couldn’t do this without you.”
The group of cyclists continue their fundraising effort with a raffle on Friday 30 June at the Trafalgar Inn in St Aubin at 18:00.
There will be various prizes available including £500 cash, a six-month Strive gold membership, and a £150 Dunnell’s voucher.
