Cancer Sucks. When you're young, a cancer diagnosis shatters everything.
Just when life should be about fun, friends and the future, you're suddenly faced with a world of fear.
Right now, for every young person Teenage Cancer Trust helps, there’s another we can’t.
We're cycling from London to Paris in 2017 in a bid to raise some money and together, we can make sure every young person with cancer gets the care they deserve.
Here's the itinerary for the trip
Day 1 - London to Calais:
The challenge begins bright and early from South London, then heads out through rural Kent. Our path winds through traditional British countryside and along the North Downs Way before we reach the white cliffs of Dover. The ferry takes us across to Calais and our first night’s resting place.
95 miles (approx)
DAY 2 - Calais to Abbeville:
La belle France! Stunning countryside awaits us in northern France as we travel south through some beautiful quaint villages shouting ‘Bonjour Monsieur/Madame’ as we cycle through! Cycle through Desvres and continue with the windy roads along the valley of the Canche River. The (Stella?) Artois region is amazing with the Spanish influenced town of Hesdin and its tremendous architecture and close proximity to the battle of Agincourt. We spend the night in Abbeville.
75 miles (approx)
DAY 3 - Abbeville to Beauvais:
Our route this morning follows the river Somme out of Abbeville. The Somme is perhaps most famous for its battles and you cannot fail to be reminded of the thousands who lost their lives in the war. But the Somme is also a Celtic word meaning tranquility… summing up the feeling of the day as we cycle through this superb region. We finish the day in Beauvais.
70 miles (approx)
DAY 4 - Beauvais to Paris:
Our final day of cycling and the big push to Paris, our final destination. We’re still treated to some stunning countryside, including a lovely lunch in a wooded area next to the River Oise. After lunch we near the outskirts of Paris and we’ll start to spot the familiar sights of the Eiffel Tower and the River Seine. We rendezvous in a park just north of Paris before joining together to cycle the last miles along some of the famous boulevards. Our finish point – the Eiffel Tower – can be seen for miles above the Paris Skyline, and on arrival the celebrations can begin!
60 miles (approx)
