The story so far
It’s a big THANK YOU to all those who took part in our first four Bikeathons & raised over £40,000 to help fund lifesaving leukaemia & lymphoma research.
We are indebted to our marshals (the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Youth) and National Trust for their help.
If you know of a company who may like to sponsor this event in the future please get in touch
Packwood House
Packwood House is a 16th Century house about 7 miles North-West of Warwick. Packwood House is 2 miles from Baddesley Clinton Manor House. Both houses are owned by the National Trust, and you can buy a combined ticket for entry to both houses. Packwood House was home of the Featherstone family from 1598 to 1869. It was bought by Mr Alfred Ash, and subsequently given to The National Trust in 1941, by his son, Graham Baron Ash
Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research
Established in 1960 and still the only national research charity devoted exclusively to leukaemia, the lymphomas, myeloma, aplastic anaemia, myelodysplasia, the myeloproliferative disorders and the related blood disorders in both children and adults
Our ride is just one of the Bikeathons raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research every year.
