Ady is Chasing the Sun in June 2026

A huge thanks to Ady from all at OPA Cancer Charity for choosing to support our charity in your fundraising event, wishing you the best of luck in you challenge! 

“I am riding Chase the Sun 2026 (205 miles in one day coast to coast) in memory of my Dad, John Robert Thompson, who was diagnosed in January 2025 with Oesophageal Cancer and fought for 9 months but lost the fight on 21st September 2025.

This is my first real experience of a close relative fighting cancer and this was shocking, not being able to eat and drink for months, those things we all take for granted. 

Please help me raise some money for OPA in memory of my Dad but also for all those still battling either now or in the future.” – Ady Thompson
