OUR BOYS TO GET ON THEIR BIKE – WILL YOU JOIN THEM?
I’VE always thought my Non-League Paper counterparts Alex Narey and Matt Badcock were a little crazy – and now they’ve proved me right!
In June, The NLP’s dynamic duo will be donning the lycra to tackle the ‘Football to Amsterdam’ bike ride, which raises funds for Prostate Cancer UK
Starting out from London’s Lee Valley Velo Park on June 7, their ride will be spread over two days with the small matter of 145 miles to negotiate between the cities!
For those based in the north, there is a second route that gets you pedalling from Barnsley’s Oakwell Stadium. Both routes will take an overnight ferry from Harwich and Hull respectively before hitting the Dutch tarmac the following day.
The annual Football to Amsterdam ride has become part of the footballing calendar and each year a plethora of clubs and players, both current
and former, get behind the project to support the charity.
The statistics are quite galling. In the UK, one man dies every 45 minutes from prostate cancer but there are continuous efforts to help eradicate that number.
The FLP and The NLP are proud to be associated with PCUK as we aim to keep up the awareness with the recent addition of the ‘Man of Men’ logo on our front pages.
Look out for Alex’s online training blog in the following weeks as he aims to shed a few more of those Christmas pounds as D-day in June looms ever nearer.
For more details on the charity and how you can help, visit prostatecanceruk.org, and if you fancy joining Alex and Matt on the ride, you can get a £50 discount by using code FLP19. We’re also keen to pull in the numbers to make up our team, so you can email alex.narey@ greenwayspublishing.com for more details.
