Little Legs, Big Dream: Paris by Pedals!

Lily D is raising money for Devon Wildlife Trust
In memory of Grandad

Cycle to Paris · 24 May 2026

DWT creates havens where wildlife can thrive, on our 59 nature reserves and on land owned by others. We inspire love and care for the natural world, stand up for wildlife under threat and return lost species like the beaver. We enrich knowledge of Devon's wildlife and promote the benefits of nature.

Story

Hi, I’m Lily and I’m 9 years old. I’m riding my bike all the way to Paris in May to raise money for Devon Wildlife Trust.

I love cycling and adventures, and I wanted to take on a big challenge this year. I will be cycling about 130 miles over 4 or 5 days and I’m really excited to see if I can make it to the Eiffel Tower! I will be starting the journey in Dieppe and cycling along the Avenue Verte.

I’m doing this ride in memory of my Grandad, who was a sailor and also loved cycling, exploring, and going on adventures. He loved the sea and the countryside and was an animal lover, so I wanted to do something special to celebrate the things he cared about.

Training for this ride will take a lot of hard work, but every mile I cycle will be for my Grandad and to help protect the amazing wildlife and nature around us.

If you can, please support my ride. Any donation, big or small, will really help and will keep me pedalling all the way to Paris!

I will be posting updates along the way so keep an eye on my page.

Thank you so much for supporting me.
