Chris Boardman MBE

Olympic gold medallist, triple world champion and world record holder Chris Boardman is one of Britain’s most successful cyclists. Since retirement from professional cycling he has been involved in cycle journalism as well as running a successful cycling brand.

The work Action Medical Research is funding into premature births is close to Chris’s heart as his son George was born six weeks early. Consequently, he is keen to show his support and has become our Champion of CycleSport Dinner Ambassador for 2013.

He said: “As a UK cycling coach I help to develop and inspire the next generation of cyclists. Taking part in events such as the Action 100 series, run by Action Medical Research, is a great way to keep up their training and meet fellow enthusiasts, while raising money to help sick babies and children.”
