Lourdes Cycle, GGCA AGM, Stroke Awareness, LGBTQ+ Pride Month

On Saturday afternoon, four local cyclists made a triumphant return to Gibraltar after completing a gruelling 10-day, 1,200 km ride from Lourdes for charity. The challenge was dedicated to the memory of the late Daphne Alcantara, aiming to promote awareness about the critical importance of early diagnosis of brain tumours. Three of the four cyclists join us in the studio: Jimmy Alcantara, Ian Howes and Glen Ballantine.The Gibraltar General and Clerical Association (GGCA) held an Extraordinary General Meeting where members voiced frustration at not having received a meaningful pay rise since 2019. Our reporter Jonathan Sacramento is reporting on this today.May is Stroke Awareness Month - a time to highlight the realities of strokes, the importance of recovery support, of stroke prevention and what can cause strokes. John Shephard is no stranger to GBC television and Radio Gibraltar for his sports coverage, but today he speaks to us as a stroke survivor and a campaigner for increased awareness.And, June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month, a time to celebrate and commemorate the contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. It is observed in June to mark the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, a pivotal moment in the gay rights movement that occurred in June 1969. Gibraltar Pride 2025 is exactly a month away!
