Story

Thanks for taking time to visit our Justgiving page.

After much deliberation & organising we have decided to embark on a cycle challenge which will take 6 fellas on bikes from Marble Arch London to the Arc de Triomphe, Paris over 3 days. The route takes us via Dieppe and we estimate the approx mileage to be just over 180 miles.

We hope to arrive in sunny Paris early afternoon on the third day, somewhat, tired, sunburned & in need of a stiff drink! 

To ensure we make the finishing line we need that little extra incentive and have therefore decided to raise funds for the Hilton in the Community Foundation, which supports young people worldwide. HCF is itself a children's charity, which works wit hthe Hilton Hotels in Europe to raise funds for numerous good causes that assist children and young people up to the age of 25 who are most in need. To date we have mobilised nearly £8 million sibe 2001 thanks to unwavering support from guests, colleagues, suppliers, corporate partners and the generous general public.

Hilton Worldwide pays for the Foundation's core costs, meaning that every penny we raise goes directly to charity.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
