On 21st June, 15 parents and friends will be leaving Christ Church School in Chelsea planning to arrive at Christ Church in Amsterdam the following day.

We are fundraising to help the school build its own outdoor classroom. The children love the playground and the school would really benefit from having an exciting learning area outside.

As you will be aware, Christ Church is a small school with limited funding. We are a small community with a massive fund raising task ahead of us so we would be very grateful for your support.

The first leg of the ride will be around 130km, taking us across London and all the way through Essex to Harwich, where we board an overnight ferry bound for Hook Of Holland.

The second leg will see us rolling off the boat at around 8.00am, with a further 90km to cover in order to complete the ride. Fortunately the route in Holland is largely on dedicated cycle tracks with none of the usual hazards we expect on the roads of London – traffic, pedestrians, traffic lights, road furniture and potholes. We hope to complete the challenge in as close to 24 hours as possible.

The group have started preparing for the trip as you can see from the photo below.

We would be so grateful for all the support you can provide.
