Raptör, the multi-day ride for the Insurance Industry, is back for a 6th year that will see riders cycling in north Sussex, riding to down to Dover, Dunkirk, Ypres, Ghent, and finishing in Roubaix with a circuit of the famous velodrome.

By donating, you are helping to find ways to reduce premature birth, to support children facing a lifetime of challenges caused by disabilities, and to develop cutting-edge therapies for rare and incurable diseases. With your help we're determined to make a real change to children's lives.

All donations will be generously double-matched by my employer, Ki, so for every £1 donated the charity will receive an additional £2. Your contributions will be hugely appreciated by both the charity and me.
