A cycling challenge championed by rugby legend Jonathan “Jiffy” Davies promises to be bigger than ever when it hits the road for the fourth time this summer.

Jiffy’s Cancer 50 Challenge has raised many thousands of pounds for the cancer centres at Velindre and Singleton hospitals.

Last year an amazing 600 cyclists took part – the biggest turn-out yet for the hugely popular event.

And the hope is that this record will be broken again for the 2024 event, which will take place on Sunday, August 18th.

Entries are now open for the 50-mile ride, which will set out from Cardiff City Stadium and finish at the Lighthouse restaurant in Swansea’s Bracelet Bay.

Jiffy said: “I need your help to raise as much as possible and help improve cancer services.

“Join me for this great ride connecting these two incredible cancer hospitals in our collective effort of tackling cancer in South and West Wales.”

Last year’s third annual challenge raised £55,963.75, divided equally between the two charities.

The hope is that the 2024 challenge will take the total raised over four years past the £250,000 mark.

For the first time, Velindre and the South West Wales Cancer Fund are managing the event directly to ensure as much as possible is raised.

Cyclists will pay a £100 entry fee, which includes a cycle shirt with an eye-catching new design, a goody bag and medal. All participants are encouraged to raise as much as possible for the charities.
