The Founder of the UCAN Trophy motorcycle fun run, Chris Norton, sadly passed away on Friday 6th May after a long battle with prostate cancer. He will be sorely missed by all his friends and family, and those who worked with him in establishing the UCAN fun run.
The 5th fun run will go ahead on Sunday 18th Sep 2011, and we will be aiming to raise the £5000 that Chris so wanted to achieve.
You can help by starting your fundraising efforts now - perhaps by holding a garage sale / charity BBQ / swear box collection / sposored run / ride / walk - or just by making a donation to UCAN at www.justgiving.com/ucan/donate

Sad news about Chris, met him a couple of times, a jolly chap who put a fair bit of his time into UCAN.
Shame to hear about this....never met Chris, but it's always a bad thing whenever someone succumbs to cancer no matter what type.
Chris was one of the good guys, not perfect, but more like him and the world would be a better place. Trouble is, he would never let us tell him how much we thought of him when he was alive. Well, now he's gone he'll have to put up with it! RIP Chris.
