The Yorkshire Mafia Leeds to Paris

charity bike ride

Now in its second year, the Yorkshire to Paris Charity Bike ride is a great opportunity to get fit, challenge yourself, network with local like-minded Yorkshire business folk and most importantly raise significant funds for several charities.

We are riding for the following causes; Simon on the Streets, St Gemma’s Hospice – Leeds, Bone Cancer Research Trust (BCRT), Brain Tumour Research & Support Yorkshire (BTRS), Heart Research UK and The Candlelighters.  You can also ride for a charity close to your heart, however they may not be able to offer funded places.

There are various ways you can fund your challenge – find out more here.

NB: If you choose a ‘funded charity place’ you must commit to fundraising a minimum of £2300 for your chosen charity.

(Providing you have raised the funds 6 weeks before we leave, the charity you are supporting will pay the trip costs of £1350 on your behalf and Ride25 will refund your £250 deposit.)
