Local Cyclists Tackle Epic 180-Mile Cross-Wales Challenge in Support of Mental Health Charity ‘4 Dewi’

Beddau, Wales – 25 February 2026

Following an inspiring start to the year, mental health charity 4 Dewi is delighted to announce an upcoming fundraising challenge. On Saturday 11th July 2026, local cyclists Chris Morgan, Dean Porter (Church Village), and Lee Fraser (Beddau) will take on an ambitious cross-country cycling challenge to raise vital funds for the charity’s community wellbeing work.

As proud members of the Beddau Bike Club, the group will set off from Beddau RFC and make their way towards North Wales, tackling some of the most demanding and scenic routes in the country along the way. This endurance challenge will push both physical and mental limits in support of a cause close to their hearts.

A True Test of Endurance

This is no ordinary ride. The route will take the cyclists through Brecon and Rhayader before they take on the challenging ascent of the legendary Llanberis Pass. In total, they will face:

  • 180 miles of open road

  • 12,000 feet of climbing

  • Approximately 15 hours of continuous cycling

A spokesperson for 4 Dewi said:
“This is an incredible challenge, and we are deeply grateful to Chris, Dean, and Lee for their commitment to supporting our work. Fundraising efforts like this are essential to everything we do. Their determination reflects the same resilience we aim to build within our community through mental health support and awareness.”

Supporting the Mission of 4 Dewi

Every mile they cycle will help fund vital mental health and wellbeing initiatives across our communities. All money raised will be reinvested directly into local support services, helping individuals who are struggling and strengthening access to practical, compassionate care.

How to Show Your Support
