In 2014, Barney and Sarah set up a women’s cycling team that would ride for Boot Out Breast Cancer and take the vision of the charity around the UK. Having raised in excess of £400k for North West based centres during the first 3 years of the charity, 2014 marked the time to take the message of early diagnosis around the UK. With nine riders on the team, led by Sarah and managed by Barney, the team races in key National and International events.
