’I’m doing it for you grandad,’ says Nathan

Nathan Burge will be cycling round Arran six times next week while fundraising for Cancer Research UK.

An athlete from London will be undertaking an epic 300-mile cycle during three consecutive days of cycling around Arran next week in order to fulfil a childhood pledge to his grandfather.

Nathan Burge, 24, is not only undertaking the cycling challenge but is also competing in marathons, sponsored skydives and various other fundraising events as part of his yearlong campaign to raise money for Cancer Research UK. At the age of 9, after his grandfather passed away from an asbestos related cancer, Nathan pledged that he would cycle around Arran to honour his grandfather and raise money in his name. He will start on Mon-day (June 11) and will be circumnavigating the island roughly six times in just three days.
