About The Lewis Balyckyi Trust Fund

We set up the trust in Lewis memory as a lasting tribute to a really special person.

He was special to many people in many different ways...He always lived life to the full and was always there for his many friends. A grant will be given in association with British Cycling to a deserving junior rider to help them with their costs in aiming to fulfill their dream. This will be given on an annual basis. They must show they have the determination, attitude and hunger to be able to fulfill their dream. The Trust will sponsor them for a season to enable them to focus on racing nationally.

A donation will be given to the North West Air Ambulance who solely rely on donations to operate.To work with schools, police and other organizations to emphasize the importance of bike safety on the road with the LOOK FOR LEWIS CAMPAIGN.

The money raised through our many events which will be advertised on our Upcoming Events Page.
