In times of difficulty you realise who your true friends are, that was the case when Team WNT rider Hannah Walker said that she was putting her cycling skills to good use to raise funds for the Anthony Nolan Charity, to repay them, in part, for the support given to her brother Tom, who suffers from a very rare blood disorder.  As soon as she mentioned it, her team mates stepped up to support her.

The response was a resounding yes, to join Hannah on her charity ride in the, even though the event came the day after the London GP where they were competing against some of the world’s best female cyclists and, the start time the following day was at 6:00am! Good to their word Hannah was joined at the start by Rose Osborn, Becca Carter, Brit Tate, Cha Joiner, Jo Tindley and Lydia Boylan, plus Sports Director Rick Lister, along with Brit’s boyfriend Rob, her mum and dad, Jill and John, as well as Claude Sun, WNT’s Worldwide Managing Director, who flew in from Germany especially for the challenge. By the end of the ride they had raised almost £4000, with more money being pledged all the time though Hannah and Team WNT’s Just Giving page.  

The money raised will help Anthony Nolan develop the support that it gives to patients such as 

Tom, who has already had three bone marrow transplants, including one from Hannah, to try and resolve the Aplastic Anaemia that he suffers from.
