Story
Announcing the launch of a bike ride event from Jo Cox's Birstall and Spen constituency to the Houses of Parliament.
A distance of 260 miles over 5 days from 17th - 21st August
The organisers hope to :
• Highlight the great work that Jo Cox has undertaken during her life.
• Raise funds on route with all funds raised going to Jo’s charities.
The charities were chosen by Jo's family and friends and are:
• HOPE not Hate http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/
• The Royal Voluntary Service http://www.royalvoluntaryservice.org.uk/
• The White Helmets https://www.whitehelmets.org/
The ride is an opportunity for public participation, people can join in, ride alongside other riders and demonstrate their support for the principles that Jo Cox stood and campaigned for during her professional career and also as an MP.
We would love you to be involved, you can cycle the whole route, ride 1 mile or simply support the riders as they pass through your region. These are just some of the many ways that you can show your support.

7 years agoA big thank you to everyone involved for all the donations made and support you have given before, during and after the ride. It was no easy task pulling together such a long ride in such a short amount of time (and with minimal training!) But those who took part in the event have been overwhelmed by the generosity shown by people up and down the country. I'm sure Jo would be tremendously proud of all that has been achieved with this ride. We will be sharing the money equally between Jo's 3 charities. THANK YOU! #thejocoxway

Well done to all. I really enjoyed being a part of the start of Day 1. Now that it's over, what are your thoughts on making this an annual event, or a variation on a theme of a round-Yorkshire ride?
