This is the summer-falls of 2018. On the first few bike rides and beers after Yann recovered from testicular cancer, that the BikeForBalls concept was created.

In a combination of Dan’s experience in fundraising for Breast Cancer and to pass on Yann’s recent learnings we turned to what we liked the most then, using the powerful medium of cycling.

Our first fundraiser and initial step into the endurance cycling world. Just a team of 3 we were relative cycling novices at the time, but wow did we enjoy pushing ourselves. The support we gained throughout the event, lit the fire for BikeForBalls to take us where we are today.
