Project Description
The RE/MAX ALIVE2017 Cycling challenge for Cancer will consist of over 50 cyclists participating in a cycling challenge between the 7th and 17th July 2017. The group will cycle from Copenhagen in Denmark, to Warsaw in Poland, passing through Berlin in Germany. Half the cyclists will cover 1200km with Road Bikes riding through the roads, whilst the other half will cover 1090km with Mountain Bikes with over 30% of the road being off-road trails. The distances will be covered in 7 days of cycling covering approximately 165 km every day.
The cyclists have to undergo an intensive 17 week training program, starting with 4 sessions per week covering a total of 160km per week, building up to 6 sessions per week covering a total of 450-500km per week.
ALIVE Charity Foundation is the first charity foundation to raise funds for medical research in Malta. In our first 4 years of operation we have managed to donate over €365,000 towards Cancer Research and Cancer Care. The sponsored research has already resulted in ground-breaking discoveries which have enabled more efficient identification of cancers in order to provide targeted treatment. ALIVE is now funding treatment research which is leading to more effective and sustainable cancer treatment. Funds from the first 2 years were directed towards Breast Cancer Research, whilst the funds from the last 2 years have been directed towards Children’s Cancer Research. The funds raised by ALIVE mainly go towards the human element of research, such as funding PhD research scholarships, as well as funding new and ongoing research.
