£48,000 raised for Breast Cancer Now

We’re incredibly proud to have supported Breast Cancer Now, the research and support charity. Through the sales of our limited-edition Alight 3 Disc* we have raised £48,000 for the charity’s vital research and support services, helping provide support and hope for anyone affected by breast cancer.

Whilst the biggest risk factors for developing breast cancer, namely being a woman and getting older, are out of our control, there are things people can do to reduce their chances of developing the disease, such as taking part in regular physical activity. At least 23% of breast cancer cases in the UK could be preventable through making lifestyle changes, and cycling is a great way to introduce more physical activity in your day-to-day life.
