In March this year I took up the Cathedral Cycle Route Challenge, a 1,825 mile journey to visit all 42 Anglican cathedrals in England in memory of my sister Sheila, whom I recently lost to pancreatic cancer. So far, the journey has taken me from Newcastle to London, visiting 19 cathedrals on the east side of the country. I'm raising money and awareness for Pancreatic Cancer UK and am hugely grateful to all those who have helped me raise over £10,000 on my pilgrimage so far. I have 1,100 miles and 23 cathedrals to go, and this will take me from Canterbury to Truro to Carlisle🚴♂️.

Sadly, on the 29th of January this year, Alastair Rolfe lost his sister Sheila to pancreatic cancer, less than four months after her diagnosis. In memory of Sheila, and drawing from her ‘can-do’ attitude, Alastair has taken up the Cathedral Cycle Route Challenge, a 1,825 mile journey to visit all 42 cathedrals in England. The journey will take him the length and breadth of the country, and he has already raised over £10,000! 🚴♂️ Last Thursday, he was joined by colleagues from Spencer Stuart to cycle to both St Paul's Cathedral, London and Southwark Cathedral. Thank you so much to you, Alastair, for all you have done in memory of Sheila. We wish you all the best for the next leg of your journey! 💜
