In sad and difficult times we all need a bit of cheering up…Toby Watson and his Vc Glendale friends provided that certainly yesterday with announcing the proceeds of their charity sportive held end February!

It was the end of February and bad weather was the cause of many cancellations cycling sportive wise, the forecast that Sunday morning was iffy, but sometimes the weather gods are with you and the sportive in aid of the https://cancerfundforchildren.com/ was going ahead…not a spit of rain and a massive entry, they came from all corners of Ireland including a delegation from Bioracer UK (the provider of the club jersey of Vc Glendale) The well know photographer Toby Watson was one of the organisers and the drive behind this now annual event. The Belgian colours were flying high in West Belfast (in some corners they call it West Belgium..lol) The entry money was based on a minimum donation and add the sale of commemorative jerseys and a tombola. They reached a total of £5,138.17!!

Toby presented yesterday virtual the cheque to the charity and has this to say ” Where do I start How Lucky we were to get our Charity cycle over before this madness of Covid – 19. Had to stage this presentation this morning and thank everyone involved that made this day possible. Having an amazing Team around me made this run as smooth as it did. It Can’t get any better than this but we will always raise the bar another notch and hopefully, the £s will grow also for a very worthy cause..£5,138.17…Many thanks one and All”
