Grosvenor Wealth Managements’ Head of Finance, Karen Anderton, will be taking on the UK’s biggest female cycling event, Ride the Night London 100km, in late April to raise money for Women V Cancer.

Throughout the night on the 29th April, thousands of women will unite to cycle a phenomenal 50km or 100km through London for Breast Cancer Now, Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust and Ovarian Cancer Action.

The participants will start at Kempton Park Racecourse in Surrey, with motivational music, speeches, warm-ups and more, to get each cyclist ready for the challenge ahead. The participants will set off in waves to cycle a circular 50km or 100km route through London.

Pedalling past Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, Buckingham Palace and many more iconic landmarks, they’ll light up London with their pink high-vis Ride the Night London vests and the sparkling Women V Cancer spirit.

Women v Cancer is a series of Women only cycle challenges in aid of three British charities – Breast Cancer Now, Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust and Ovarian Cancer Action – raising vital funds to fight breast, cervical and ovarian cancers. The donations made to Women v Cancer will be distributed equally between them.

Why are you taking on the Ride the Night cycle event Karen?

“In memory of all those that I’ve lost to Cancer & for those who continue to fight, I’m taking on Women V Cancer Ride the Night to raise vital funds for three important charities at a time when they need it most – Breast Cancer Now, Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust and Ovarian Cancer Action’s.
