The money raised as part of this incredible effort will be shared with RSABI and My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. The cycling duo got together 10 years ago to raise money for the Beatson Cancer Centre in Glasgow and have since raised £12,500 for various charities. You can support the team by texting GJGRANDTOUR to 70450 to donate £10 or by donating via their fundraising page: https://ow.ly/EUcV50T1PCa Wishing you the best of luck from all at RSABI!
