I am delighted to have secured a place on the CYCLE TO MIPIM charity cycle ride from London to Cannes in March 2018.
CYCLE TO MIPIM is a 1500km cycle ride from London to Cannes to raise money for charity.
The main beneficiary is CORAM, the UK's first children's charity with four subsidiary charities, Article 25, Tom's Trust, The MSA Trust and the Emthonjeni Trust.
This is the closest an amateur cyclist will come to a professional ride. 200 riders in two groups will cycle for six days, averaging 200-300km per day. We will depart on 8th March and arrive in Cannes on 13th March.
The ride is fully supported with rolling road closures, support vehicles, support crew, mechanics and physios! Each day involves waking up at 04:50 and spending hours in the saddle with some days riding from dawn till dusk.
Thanks to my ride sponsor Atlas Industries Limited for their generous contribution to this huge challenge for supporting on this journey!
Your donations will be gratefully received by the charities.
Thank you for your kind support

Raising Funds For
Club Peloton
Club Peloton is a fundraising charity which uses cycling as its platform for challenge events, bringing together a love for the sport and the opportunity to raise money for great causes.
Our main grant recipient - receiving two thirds of all funds raised - is Coram, the UK’s oldest and first children’s charity that has been supporting vulnerable children for over 275 years. Their flagship service, Coram Adoption, is the most successful voluntary adoption agency in the UK., finding loving and secure homes for some of the most vulnerable and hard-to-place children in the country. They now help more than 1.25 million children and young people every year, and this would not be possible without the generosity of our riders
Club Peloton will be supporting Coram’s vital programmes, with a specific focus on Coram’s unrivalled and pioneering adoption service. For more information please visit: www.coram.org.uk.
