UPDATE: We were delighted to be the chosen charity for the Kick the Ball event earlier this year. An event incorporating a 100+mile cycle stopping off at some of the Highland League Football Clubs.
The event raised an amazing 🎉£55,256.12 🎉.
Huge thank you to Ian Ord, Mike Macaulay and Pat Machray for organising and co-ordinating the event and to British long distance cyclist, broadcaster and author Mark Beaumont who lead the cycle and entertained guests at the dinner in the evening. Thanks to all the cyclists who took part on the day and to the Highland League Football Clubs who contributed to the funds raised with various activities during their pre season training.
Funds raised will go towards our current appeal, the SURE Unit. The SURE Unit will be transformational in how we diagnose and treat urology patients, reducing anxiety and improving outcomes.

The cycle part of KICK THE BALL event concluded last night with an excellent dinner at The Bothy Function Suite at Inverurie Events where Mark Beaumont shared stories of some of his adventures over the years.
The fundraising page will stay open until all football clubs have finished their events so not too late to make a wee donation, all funds raised will go towards UCAN’s current appeal, the SURE Unit, a ground breaking facility aiming to cut diagnosis times for urological cancers.
