Akit Patel is raising money for Dentaid

Team: Straumann Group Team fundraising for Dentaid

Straumann Charity Bike Ride · 10 September 2026

Dentaid The Dental Charity provide dental care and oral health advice for people experiencing homelessness, harm, poverty and abuse. We help people at risk of health inequalities who’ve been living with the misery of toothache and restore their self-esteem by giving them confidence in their smile.

Story

September 2026 – 500 miles in 5 days

I will be taking part in my fourth Straumann Charity Bike ride, crossing Switzerland, France and Germany.

The ride will begin at Straumann Group's global headquaters in Basel, before heading out on a spectacular route through some of Europe's most iconic landscapes. Along the way, we'll cycle through the picturesque Vosges National Park, the Alsace Wine Region and the legendary Black Forest.

Alongside the rest of the team, I’m aiming to raise £1,500, contributing to an overall fundraising target of £90,000 for our chosen charity, Dentaid UK.

This challenge is about much more than cycling. It’s an opportunity to come together, push our limits, and make a meaningful difference to the lives of people who need it most.

All funds raised will go directly to Dentaid, supporting their vital and compassionate work providing dental care and oral health advice to vulnerable people in our communities - including those experiencing homelessness, harm, poverty, and abuse. Access to dental care can be truly life-changing, restoring not only oral health, but also dignity, confidence, and wellbeing.

Every donation, big or small, will make a real difference and help Dentaid reach those who need care the most.

Thank you so much for supporting me and for helping Dentaid continue to change lives - one smile at a time.
