We are starting off at Marble Arch with the plan to take a baton to Amsterdam;  Cycling for 4 days through 4 countries (327 miles / 530 km).  Training plan in place and we have 23 registered volunteers willing to take on this challenge.

Together for Short Lives is a leading UK charity for children with life shortening illnesses and those who support, love and care for them.   There is a lot of information on their website which you can refer to:- www.togetherforshortlives.org.uk

As a life sciences company with a strong interest in healthcare, 
Bayer fully supports the ethos of healthy living and outdoor activities such as cycling. 

Our goal is to raise as much money as possible for our nominated charity Together for Short Lives, whose purpose, like Bayer, is to make people’s lives better.

We wanted to take on a serious challenge to help the children, young people and families to whom this charity means so much.  We have met a family who benefited from Together for Short Lives, and have seen what a positive difference a big sum of money can make, so we’re asking people to dig deep to helps us make a big contribution.

When the going gets tough during our cycle ride we need only think of the difficulties faced on a daily basis by some of those children and their families, and that is enough to persuade us never to give in.
