The Dan Dunne award is for that special person who rides the cycle challenge "against the odds". This is awarded annually to a cyclist who overcomes hardship and adversity to compete in the Cycle Challenge. Dan Dunne completed the Challenge in 1996 after struggling for some time with life threatening cancer. His epic ride was the subject of a Holmes TV programme. During the difficult times following his ride, Dan and his family kept in touch and became friends and active supporters of the Cycle Challenge. After Dan's death, his widow Jackie, and her family dedicated a trophy to his memory. The Cycle Challenge Trust is proud to be part of the annual award, and hope that we live up to Dan's memory each year as we choose a worthy recipient. Nominations for the Dan Dunne Award can be made using the form below and handed in to Sheryl Keen at Event Headquarters on Event Day. (DAN DUNNE NOMINATION FORM 2008.doc )
