𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱. 𝗚𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗴𝗼𝘄. 𝗕𝗶𝗸𝗲𝘀. 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗕𝗶𝗸𝗲𝘀.

Bike legends is on at The Engine Works on Saturday and Sunday. Custom builds, the people who build them, and two days of folk who just get it.

Every penny of profit comes to GG on Two Wheels.

That money goes straight to families in Scotland who are living with cancer and struggling with the costs nobody warns you about. Fuel to get to treatment. Heating. The boiler that picks the worst week to go.

Bikes got me through the hardest stretch of my life. Now a bike show is helping someone else get through theirs.

If you ride, come along. If you know someone who rides, send them this.

I’ll see you there.

Don’t count the days, make the days count.

Macmillan's most recent research shows what happens when a cancer diagnosis meets the cost-of-living crisis:

- One in four people with cancer in the UK (24%) have been buying less food or making fewer hot meals to cope - rising to 26% of those currently having treatment.

- Around a million people with cancer (32%) have started wearing coats or dressing gowns indoors just to stay warm without turning the heating up.

- One in six (16%) have been washing their clothes or bedding less - or not at all - to keep costs down.

That surprised me. You expect a cancer centre to feel heavy. This one doesn't.

There are support groups for people with the same type of cancer. A six-week course on managing stress. Workshops for when you're just starting treatment and don't know what's coming. Yoga, tai chi and walking groups too, for when you need to get out of your own head for an hour.

I get out on the bike. Other people need a walk, or a room full of folk who just get it. Whatever works for you, it's there.

All free. All you have to do is turn up.

If you're struggling, please get in touch.

Macmillan's research found that 83% of people living with cancer are, on average, £570 a month worse off because of their diagnosis.

This is why George rides. Every mile is aimed at making sure families dealing with this don't have to face it alone.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁. 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆.

Taxis to appointments when you can’t drive. The heating on all day because you’re home and you’re cold. Time off work. And then the boiler goes. Or the car.

It all lands at once, at the worst possible time. I know, because I’ve lived it.

So GG on Two Wheels is wokring with Maggie's Forth Valley to distribute a new £10,000 fund.

It’s there for people going through cancer treatment in Forth Valley who are struggling to cover the basics. Getting to hospital. Food. Keeping the house warm.

The benefits advisors at Maggie’s sit with people every single day, so they know who needs help right now. They identify who the fund can support. Some people have already been helped by it.

Maggie’s are there for how you’re feeling. Together, we can take some of the money worry off the table too, so people can put their energy into their treatment.

This is what every mile is for.

If you’re living with cancer and money is getting on top of you, go and speak to the team at Maggie’s Forth Valley. That’s where it starts.

Riding for Hope. Healing Through Miles.

On top of the diagnosis, the treatment and the rising bills, people with cancer who claim Personal Independence Payment are waiting an average of 22 weeks for their first payment.

That's not a delay. That's over five months without the support the system is meant to provide - while everything else keeps costing money.

The simplest way I can put it… it’s somewhere to go that isn’t the hospital, right beside the hospital.

At Maggie's Forth Valley you can sit down with a cancer support specialist. Talk to a clinical psychologist. Get time with a benefits advisor who’ll go through what you might be entitled to, because most people have no idea.

There are support groups for people with the same type of cancer. A six-week course on managing stress. Workshops for when you’re just getting started with treatment. Nutrition. Creative writing. Yoga, tai chi and walking groups.

And it’s not just for the person with the diagnosis. Family and friends are welcome too.

All of it is free. No appointment. No referral.

If you or someone you love is living with cancer in Forth Valley, go and see them. Even if it’s just to sit somewhere quiet for half an hour.

Monday to Friday, 9 till 5. Forth Valley Royal Hospital, Larbert.

Charity launches new fund to help people in Forth Valley with hidden costs of cancer treatment

04/10/2026

67% of people diagnosed with cancer in the last two years have hit costs they simply weren't expecting - parking at every appointment, higher heating bills because you're home and unwell more, specialist food, travel to treatment that's an hour away, income that quietly drops because you can't work the hours you used to.

Zurich put a number on it: £541 a month on average. Almost £6,500 a year.

That's not a one-off cost. That's every month, on top of everything else.

Charities like our partner Maggie's can help with free advice and support if this is where you or someone you love is right now. Link in bio.
