Willen Hospice Cycle Sportive Supported by BCG
Marina Cantarutti
My Story
I lost my Dad in July 2021 to cancer back in Argentina. I couldn't travel from the UK to say goodbye due to the pandemic. I started cycling earlier that year to cope with his illness and then loss, and cycling changed my life and helps me daily with grief. I am riding on Sept 3rd as a member of the Broughton Cycling Group in my Dad's memory and to help Willen Hospice to offer other families a comfortable and better way to face the challenges that life-limiting illness unfortunately brings.
