Cycling 1,792km over 11 days
In aid of UNICEF
This captivating cycle ride will express a most courageous exhibition of mental & physical endurance, covering 1,792km in 11 days, and travelling through 6 beautiful countries and 11 breathtaking cities. The tour starts on 2 August, leaving from Dartford (London, England) and concludes in Rome (Italy) on 12 August. The journey embarks through Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Switzerland, consisting of many long, seemingly endless straight roads, winding country lanes, and steep climbs up the mountains of the Alps . It is expected that stages of this ride are likely to mirror the intensity of Le Tour De France, which would prove to be extremely physically and mentally challenging for even the most experienced cyclists.
UNICEF works for children's rights in over 150 countries around the world. Working with local communities and governments, they work to ensure that every child is given the opportunity to reach their full potential, as individuals and as members of their communities. Through long term and emergency health care and education programmes UNICEF offers care and protection for some of the world’s most vulnerable children.
The aim of this London to Rome cycling event is to raise funding, sponsorship and ultimately raise the awareness of UNICEF and the nature of its cause. Hopefully over time the increased publicity that this event generates will draw in an increasing number of participants & competitors, and involve a great deal more charitable organisations in the future.
