Our selected charity for the 2024 event will be ...
and other Lions Club designated charities.
Can you imagine if a dog could detect an illness well before we had any idea there was a problem and reduce the need for intrusive, unpleasant and expensive diagnostic tests?
Well for over 10 years, Medical Detection Dogs has been training dogs to do just that; to save lives using their amazing sense of smell.
It does this with Medical Alert Assistance Dogs and Bio Detection Dogs, both of which can be trained to detect even the tiniest trace of the smell caused by a medical condition.
Bio Detection Dogs are trained to detect diseases like cancers, Parkinson’s, malaria and bacterial infections.
Medical Alert Assistance Dogs support people with complex health conditions like Type 1 diabetes, PoTS and severe allergies when they are in danger of having a potentially life-threatening medical event, so they can take the necessary action and prevent hospital admission.
The charity is already making a huge difference to many by training dogs to not only save lives but also restore the confidence and independence that many of its clients lose when they become ill. And the list of diseases the world-leading Bio Detection research focuses on is growing all the time.

What we have planned for 2024...
We were so pleased that we will were able to repeat our North Bucks Bike Ride on Sunday 14th July this year.
Building on our continued success of last year we had over 300 cyclists converge on the town to make it another successful event!
The event was organised by the Lions Club of Winslow in conjunction with the Winslow Wheelers Cycle Club and Furze Down School.
Local attractions at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre, Claydon House & Estate, Hogshaw Farm together with Quainton Windmill, were open to welcome the leisure cyclists and families to enjoy the opportunity to stop off at these venues along the route with free entry on the day.
While the Sportive Riders 'enjoyed' either a 60 km, 100 km or 100 mile ride at a more 'rapid' pace together with chip timing.
Watch out for more details in the coming months..
