England men’s box lacrosse team all-time top scorer Lyndon Bunio is about to embark on an extreme cycling challenge to help raise money for Canada’s The Princess Margaret Ride to Conquer Cancer.
Bunio, who grew up in Canada, is unable to take part in the official ride that takes place on 7 and 8 June and has instead challenged himself to cycle 250 metres for every dollar donated towards his campaign between now and 1 August; if he hits his goal of raising $5,000, he will cycle a total of 1,250 kilometres over the next two months.
Any money raised by Bunio, who has scored 71 points for England so far in his international career, will go towards helping to fund life-saving cancer research at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Canada, one of the world’s leading cancer research and treatment centres.
The England superstar has been inspired to take on the challenge by his father who is currently fighting Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer.
Having already raised $412.20 (as of Tuesday 20 May), Bunio is set to cycle 103.05 kilometres around London; as an added incentive to donate, anyone pledging $50 will be able to choose any pub with five kilometres of Tower Bridge in London and he will send a photo to them enjoying a beverage from that pub and anyone donating $100 or more will be able to choose any pub in Greater London.
