Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In June this year myself and 4 other friends will be cycling from London to Amsterdam to raise money and awareness for Teenage Cancer Trust and in memory of Tom Child who sadly passed away in January 2017.

Tom recieved much of his treatment at the Teenage Cancer Trust unit in Bristol; they offered incredible care and support which was greatly recieved and appreciated by Tom and his family.

Our ride in June is an opportunity to raise funds to help this wonderful charity continue its great work - Thank you so much for any support - it really is appreciated!



4 Days of riding :

London to Calais

Our
challenge begins bright and early from Crystal Palace heading south towards the
coast. Our route winds through the beautiful Kent countryside before we reach
the famous white cliffs of Dover. From here we catch the ferry to Calais for our
first overnight stop. Approx. 95 miles cycling

Calais to Bruges

Day 2

After a
hearty French breakfast we head out for a slightly easier day on two wheels!
The relatively flat route follows the coast through the Belgian border along
tree-lined country lanes and picturesque canals before turning inland toward
our evening’s accommodation in beautiful Bruges – this fairy-tale town is
filled with pretty cobbled streets and medieval buildings, a picture-perfect
end to day two! Approx. 80 miles cycling

Day 3

Bruges to Breda

Today we
will be tackling our longest ride of the trip so will begin with an early
start! After a couple of hours we cross from Belgium into Holland and then
along the coastal road before taking a welcome break in the form of a 20 minute
inland ferry ride! From here we head east towards our journey’s end in the
historic city of Breda. Approx. 95 miles cycling

Day 4

Breda to Amsterdam

We have a
long ride ahead for our last day in the saddle but we will be taking on a
flatter route passing the canals, blossoming tulips and windmills synonymous
with the Netherlands, which lead us towards the bright lights of Amsterdam
where cycling is the way of life! This wonderful city is a hub of art, history,
hidden gems and stunning sites – what a finish line! Approx. 90 miles cycling
