Support Andrew Coutts in an Epic Cycling Challenge!

Andrew Coutts – one of our Podiatric Surgeons at Ilkeston Hospital and Swadlincote Health Centre – is about to take on the incredible London-Edinburgh-London cycling event from 3rd to 8th August.

This legendary endurance ride spans 1,500 km (950 miles) over just 5 days, with Andrew cycling up to 18 hours a day through some of the UK’s most demanding terrain from London, all the way to Edinburgh and back to London.

In preparation, Andrew has already:

  • Lost over 2 stones
  • Cycled thousands of training miles
  • Cycled the Majorca 312 km race

And he’s doing all of this to raise vital funds for Cancer Research UK, a cause close to so many of our hearts.

Show your support and sponsor Andrew here!
