This year's Tour de Playgroup sees our team of lycra-clad amateurs tackle the famous London to Brighton run, including the notorious Ditchling Beacon (and we promise not to walk!).

As well as raising money for a very deserving cause, this is a challenge that will brings us all together as one team with one common goal. We will conquer the hills, we will beat the saddle sores and we will coast gloriously into Brighton.

This year we’re raising money for Bowel Cancer UK, a charity that has sadly become particularly important to one of us over the past year. We would love to support Bowel Cancer UK’s efforts to raise awareness of the disease (particularly amongst younger people) and their determination to stop people dying of bowel cancer.

All the money we raise will go directly to the charity, so please give all you can and we promise we will give our all in September.

Chapeau!
