Helpers on bikes needed: Moonwalk 14th-15th May

Volunteer cyclists are needed to help with marshalling on the “Moonwalk” on 14th/15th May. Cyclists are essential because they can easily reach parts of the route that support vehicles can’t and are able to respond quickly to hotspots on the route where additional help is needed. It is a quite brilliant night out as well as helping to raise millions of pounds for Cancer charities (especially but not exclusively breast cancer charities). There are usually about 60 or 70 cyclists helping out. Cyclists do need to be over 18 – as they will be out and about on streets of London overnight.
