Birmingham St Mary's Hospice London to Paris Cycle Challenge
Event info
Join the Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice cycle team for this 2-wheeled challenge of a lifetime.
Take on 300 miles in 4 days cycling from London to Paris. This challenging route will take you through stunning countryside, quaint market towns and the rolling hills of Northern France before arriving in Paris where you will celebrate your achievement under the iconic Eiffel Tower.
Described as one of Europe’s finest long distance cycling routes, this is a unique opportunity to get fit, meet new friends, and raise funds for those in the Birmingham and Sandwell area living with a terminal illness. The money you raise through sponsorship will pay for a number of hospice services including a day’s palliative care from our doctors and nurses in the in-patient unit (£685 per day) or provide 10 nurses uniforms (£65 per uniform).
For full challenge details and to book your place please call 0121 472 1191 or email events [at] birminghamhospice.org.uk
