“FROG prides itself on catering for the cyclist and providing an enjoyable experience for all who come along (including partners and family who attend and lend their support).

“All funds generated go exclusively to support the ongoing fight against cancer and we are thankful to be able to do so. Thank you sincerely for your participation and support and FROG looks forward to welcoming you again next year.”

Jillian Wallace, Challenge Events Officer, Cancer Focus Northern Ireland, said: “Cancer Focus NI is extremely happy to again be a part of the annual fundraising tour de force that is Fun Run of the Glens.

“One in three people will develop cancer in their lifetime and currently there are 82,200 families that are living with cancer in Northern Ireland. This donation will go a long way to help make a difficult time a little easier for these families.”
