Teenage Cancer Trust Cycling Jerseys

clarkey cat

wore mine on Saturday. very stylish.

shame the rider was wheezing and panting and lot looking very cool at all.

Another shameless bump for this, folks. I suspect MRS may have a few jerseys left, which is neither right nor tolerable.

So, to all of you considering some form of bike upgrade in the near future, may I suggest a new jersey is a much better decision instead? You'll look good, and feel good in a way no new bling handlebar accessory can possibly match.

You know I'm right. Buy one, (or another one as a gift perhaps?).

Doooo eeeet!!!

Hi MRS

Do you have any of these jerseys left in size XXL?

the_fuggler

What have you got left MRS?

Last count I had

M 1
L 2
XL 5
XXL 3

Please double-check before donating on the M and the L - XL & XXL are fine.

Cheers

Richard

I love mine. I've cancelled my birthday present order from the missus for a new jersey and this is now my 'best' one.

Hey all - I just want to say a really heartfelt Thank You to everyone that's supported this project. I'm now confident of reaching £6000 by the time donations are match-funded which is just brilliant. I may well exceed that figure. As a parent of a child who has been through cancer and having benefitted from the support that Teenage Cancer Trust give, I'm so grateful that you've done such a wonderful thing in supporting people through what is, at the time, a waking nightmare. I'm in your debt.

Speaking for myself, you owe me nothing.
Keep up the good work and may your son have a happy life.

Is that Medium still available? Dibs if so.

I can only echo Daviesee's sentiments. Thank you for doing something so positive that will help many others in future.

Completely agree with this.

rjsterry

Ditto. I imagine the logistics of the whole thing are not to be sniffed at, not to mention the efforts in persuading the other parties to get involved.

Payment made and PM sent.

meanredspider

Thanks for the support and kind comments everybody

So I'm looking to move the last few jerseys - remaining I have:

L = 3
XL = 2
XXL = 3

So I'm looking for the bigger guys to part with their hard-earned (please). Those few will generate £800 for teenagers dealing with cancer

Thanks so much!

Richard

Just to say that a friend came over today who used to work for TCT. She only had good things to say about them and said after leaving them, she couldn't work for another charity as she felt so invested in what they do... Good luck...

Just donated. Fabulous job Richard, looking forward to showing off the jersey

Edit: Total on £1,991. Donated another tenner so I can feel self important having pushed it past £2k. It's like Silly Commuter Donating. :roll:

Fabulous! Thank you. I'm now reasonably confident of reaching £7000 in total (including match funding) which is just amazing. You BR guys have been absolute troopers in supporting this too - I'm very very grateful

The latest 3 jerseys went out yesterday and should be dropping on doormats today with luck.

Final push to move on these last 8 jerseys (42 gone) - sizes Large, XL & XXL

Received mine today, ta. I think I'm squarely between a M and L for Gore sizing. Ah well, more cycling required so that it doesn't showcase my gut. Next thing I know I'll have Wrath Rob calling me fat on the SCR thread

daviesee

Mine arrived today. :P
Trial run tonight.

If it's still "tagged up", I can swap it for a large. PM me if that's what you'd like to do. I'm sure I can shift another medium.

Nah, it'll be fine, I just need to cycle more

Good man!

Wore the jersey on the way home tonight.

Comments:-
Nice, very nice.
I was between sizes and on M.R.S.'s recommendation I went for the larger size. I am glad that I did.
The material is quite thin. Should be nice when summer arrives. Oh!
The sleeves are a touch shorter than my other jerseys so that may mess up the tan lines. Have to wear this one on the sunny days.

Please don't read this wrong. These are observations, not complaints.

:P

Finally got around to collecting mine last night and so wore it this morning. Sizing was spot on so another satisfied customer! Nice one MRS, and great to know this is all going towards a good cause.

Thank you. I'm delighted that people are generally very happy with them - after all, it's a donation with a free jersey. I'm down to the last odds-n-sods of jerseys now (mental note to do a stock check) - mostly XXL. I will certainly have collected £7000 for TCT for my initial investment in the jerseys/printing/posting and my ride down Ireland. I was meeting with TCT last night (they're up here educating teenage kids at schools all about cancer) and they're delighted. And, from personal experience, it beats standing in a shopping centre on a Saturday morning with a bucket!

I love mine - but I need to be having a 'thin' day to get away with it!!!

Right. Need to sort my life out. Have you got any double extra fat left?

For sure - I think I have 3 jerseys in XXL left, one XL and one L - but, yes, definite that I have at least a couple of XXL
