Sporting hero

Angela Bannon

Raising funds, breaking limits

Angela transformed the heartbreak experienced by close friends into a powerful catalyst for action, bringing together a team to cycle 500km from London to Paris in 2023, raising £23K for Cure Leukaemia. That first ride sparked a cycling journey that has seen her qualify for the 2024 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships and complete all 9 stages of the Women’s Tour de France one day ahead of the pros, fundraising another £12K. Her determination, courage, and leadership show how sport can transform grief into empowerment and inspire others to push their limits.
