In an inspiring tribute to a friend and in support of Prostate Cancer UK, Neil Scrivens, backed by the unparalleled reliability of GS Yuasa, is set to embark on an ambitious 8,000-mile motorcycle journey from the tip of Norway to the south of Spain.Commencing at the beginning of June, Neil will leave his home near Dover and travel to Nordkapp, at the end of the northernmost public road in Europe, then turn around and head to Tarifa at the southernmost end of the Iberian Peninsula, then finally return to Dover.
This challenge is being completed to raise awareness and funds for Prostate Cancer UK. After losing a close friend last year, Neil’s aim is to break the stigma and encourage men to get checked; an important step to diagnose the disease early. The money raised will not only help Prostate Cancer UK support those who are suffering with prostate cancer, but also fund important research into new ways of diagnosing the disease early.
Set to be completed in just 20 days, the trip traverses diverse terrains and climates, showcasing not only his, but also Yuasa's endurance and dedication to such a vitally important cause. Having relied on Yuasa batteries for over two decades, Neil knows the importance of a reliable and high-quality battery. He explained: "With my experience with Yuasa as a brand, and considering the trip that I'm now endeavouring to complete, there's just no way I'd use any other brand.”
Alongside giving Neil one of its GYZ® High Performance Maintenance Free AGM batteries, the Japanese battery manufacturer is also set to support his fundraising efforts for Prostate Cancer UK. Yuasa is donating £500 to the fundraiser in a nod to the 500A CCA rating of the GYZ32HL battery fitted as standard to Neil’s Harley Davidson Road King. On top of this, Yuasa has also given Neil a Yuasa YCX6 smart charger to help maintain the battery when both Neil and the bike take a well-deserved break after the trip.
