Story
SO about last year.... we did it! The complete route was 73 miles and it took 8 hrs 45 mins. In fact the whole Disney team, 12 of us cycling and two on the bus (our support vehicle!) completed the whole 73 miles too!
Between us, along with some very generous corporate sponsorship, we raised £47,000! Thank you so much to everyone who supported the team.
And now of course, we want to do it again....
This year ‘The Big Kids Bike Ride’ will be on Saturday 16th May. All teams will be cycling the Roman Roads of Britain.
The Disney route is from Stroud to Shafsbury. Although hopefully warmer than the highest point of the Scotish Highlands last year, we understand there are some comparable hills and valleys to deal with.
As last year, the funds raised will be split 50/50 between the Toy Trust and Great Ormond Street Hospital. Disney will be covering our expenses so all the money will go directly to the charities.
Since its foundation in 1990, The Toy Trust has raised over £2 million for disadvantaged and sick children. 100% of funds raised for the Toy Trust reach the people who need it - every penny goes to children’s charities, as all administration costs are covered by the British Toy and Hobby Association or supported by volunteer activity.
Great Ormond Street Hospital is a world-class children’s hospital, with the broadest range of paediatric specialists under one roof anywhere in the UK. Each year over 150,000 patients visit the hospital with the most complex, life-threatening or life-limiting conditions.
Please sponsor us for any amount - every pound counts.
