A contingent of 60 cyclists and support staff of the HSBC Lifecycle Challenge left for Toulouse, France, yesterday to kick off a 2,200 kilometre tour from Lourdes to Casablanca in Morocco. The challenge is being undertaken in a bid to raise funds for renal patients at Mater Dei Hospital. This is the first time Lifecycle, with the support of HSBC Life Assurance Ltd, is taking the challenge to a destination outside the European continent.
