This May I'm thrilled to be taking part in the annual charity cycle to UKREiiF.

We will be setting off on this challenging three-day cycle on Saturday 18th May. Leaving from Oxford, we'll tackle the rolling roads and hills over the 400km journey to Leeds.

At the same time, we will be fundraising for Club Peloton so they can continue transforming young lives by supporting incredibly valuable projects including:

- recruiting families for 1,150 children waiting longer than 18 months to find adoptive homes

- assisting 500 families with post adoption support

- awarding 800 bikes, tandems and adapted trikes to children and young people affected by cancer

- supporting research to illustrate the relationship between physical and mental well-being and physical activity in children surviving cancer

- tackling the root causes of violent street crime through 18 amazing projects

I've been taking part in Club Peloton's brilliant charity rides for the last few years, and am excited to be pedaling for such worthy causes, particularly in such a challenging time where the vulnerable need our help more than ever.

Thank you for your kind and generous support!

Richard Dudzicki, Director RDA
