One More City is an annual cycling campaign held every October: Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

With the ethos, ‘the journey is never over'; we are always progressing towards the next city, there are always more kilometres to do, more climbs to conquer, and more challenges to face,’ One More City reflects the reality of living with cancer, where the challenge is ongoing – there are always more treatments to endure, more scans to face, and more side effects to manage.

The campaign focuses on raising awareness of secondary breast cancer and funding innovative research into this disease, which claims the lives of 31 women a day in the UK alone.

Founded by Christine O’Connell, a keen cyclist diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer in 2018, One More City has raised over £450,000 in the UK to date, funding three PhD students.

In collaboration with Rapha, One More City consists of a multi-day ride between two European cities and a series of one-day rides held in October in multiple cities around the world.
