Just Phil: Riding the 2026 Tour de France Route Unsupported for Alzheimer’s Research UK

Phil Shackleton is raising money for Alzheimer's Research UK
In memory of Carol Shackleton

Riding the 2026 Tour de France Route Unsupported – No Shortcuts. No Support. Just Phil · 30 June 2026

Alzheimer’s Research UK is the UK’s leading dementia research charity. We’re striving for a cure, by revolutionising the way we treat, diagnose and prevent dementia.

Story

In 2026, I’m taking on my biggest challenge yet: riding the entire Tour de France route completely unsupported, including every stage and every transfer.

No shortcuts. No support. Just Phil.

I’m doing this for Alzheimer’s Research UK in memory of my mum, who I lost to dementia in 2024. Watching someone you love live with dementia changes you. This ride is my way of turning that loss into purpose.

Every kilometre and every climb will be earned the hard way. No team car, no mechanics, no outside help. Everything I need will be carried on the bike.

If you can donate, share the page, or follow along, it genuinely means the world. Thank you.
