Team Gino - Fundraising for Spinal Research

Following a life-changing accident to Islington Cycling Club (ICC) member James "Gino" Murphy in 2024, Team Gino was formed with a clear purpose: to raise money for Spinal Research UK. The focus is on turning a personal tragedy into an opportunity to support vital research and help others facing similar challenges.

The group organises a variety of rides to achieve its fundraising goals. These include the popular Fish and Chips ride to Brighton, a challenging London to Lisbon ride, The Great Escape, the long-distance London-Edinburgh-London audax, and the Chariots of Fire ride to Cambridge. Each event offers a different challenge and opportunity to contribute to the cause.

Team Gino operates under the umbrella of Islington Cycling Club, with Spinal Research UK as its official charity for 2025. Donations can be made via their JustGiving page, with all proceeds going directly to supporting Spinal Research UK's work.

Team Gino offers a unique opportunity to combine a love of cycling with a commitment to a worthy cause. For cyclists in the London area looking to make a difference while enjoying the camaraderie of group rides, consider supporting Team Gino and Spinal Research UK.
