This years charity tournament is to raise money for Macmillan and The Prince of Wales Hospice. 

These 2 charities have been chosen due to a family member of Lauren Whitakers' being diagnosed with Oesophageal and Stomach cancer during lockdown. He underwent multiple rounds of chemo and then had a huge life changing operation in June 2021.  

He chose these 2 charities for 2 reasons; Macmillan because of all the support he received from them during his diagnosis, and The Prince of Wales Hospice due to his beloved rugby club, Castleford Tigers. 

When he was sat enjoying a beer with his brother talking about what he could do to say thank you to the people who supported him he came up with the idea that he would cycle to Toulouse in the south of France to the rugby stadium to watch the Cas match on the 12th June.
