Wadebridge Coasters Cycle Club has launched a special charity raffle, headlined by an incredible prize donated by Andrew Ridgeley, one half of the iconic pop duo Wham!.

The other charities being supported include Pedal for Patients, Man Down and Cornwall Air Ambulance.
The raffle gives ticket holders the chance to win a premium Trek Émonda SLR bicycle donated by Andrew Ridgeley, plus a host of fantastic local prizes. To make the prize even more special, Andrew has also kindly added some of his own cycling kit to the raffle prize pot.
The raffle has attracted outstanding support from local businesses across Cornwall, with a range of additional prizes on offer, including:
• Tickets to see Fisherman's Friends at the afternoon performance on 31 October
• A £40 voucher from Off The Path Coffee, Mawgan Porth
• A £25 voucher from Atlantic Blankets

• Couples MTB one night off-grid experience in the woods! (Any month other than July/August)
The fundraising effort forms part of the club's wider anniversary celebrations, which include the 10th Anniversary Roller Coaster Ride taking place on 20 September.
The ride is free to enter, but participants are encouraged to donate, with every pound raised helping to support the club's chosen charities.
Alice Merrett, Area Fundraiser for CHSW, said:
We are incredibly grateful to Wadebridge Coasters Cycle Club, Andrew Ridgeley and all the local businesses that have come together to make this raffle happen. Every pound raised will help us continue providing vital care and support to babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, as well as their families. Community support like this makes a real difference, and we wish everyone entering the raffle the very best of luck.
