My story

Team Ripcor is a growing group of friends united by a collective desire to support our chosen charity The PACE Centre, a love of cycling and the odd isotonic beverage. In 2008 we rode to Dublin, 2009 to Edinburgh, 2010 Bordeaux & Brussels helping to raise over £150k in the process, and now in 2012, we’re doing it again.

This Spetember along with 30 other riders we will be cycling 500 miles in 5 days from Bilbao to Barcelona. Support and accommodation costs are covered by the participants and volunteers, so all donations will go in full to the PACE Centre.

Now we know that times are tough and sponsorship comes less easily, but this is not a reason to stop trying, or to stop giving.

We will work very hard for your sponsorship, so if you would like to sponsor us, and help us to raise £5,000 to help keep the children at the PACE Centre learning, maturing and smiling please do so here.

You can check us out at www.ripcor.co.uk and follow our training progress on our blog www.frombtob.com.

Thanks for taking the time to vsit us, and remember, its all good...

What's so special about PACE? At PACE children with physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy find their own voice, walk their own steps and discover that they can fully enjoy everyday life and become active members of society. Cerebral palsy is a physical condition affecting movement as a result of damage to the brain. We believe in each child's ability to learn despite their disability. We provide a loving and inspirational environment, motivating children with physical disabilities to work hard at achieving their goals. Our focus is on 'educating for life' - developing a child's social, emotional, communication, academic and motor skills. Every child's achievement is a direct result of our unique staff team, all working together in one centre with the child at its heart. PACE is a charity inspired by the principles of Conductive Education, a system which emphasises that children develop as a whole. One in every 400 children in the UK is affected by cerebral palsy. Your support enables us to reach children and families though intensive programmes, training and outreach. We depend on donations from trusts, businesses, groups and individuals.
