Overview
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the NHS, cyclists in Kingston are taking on the Ride for 75 challenge, all to raise money for Kingston Hospital Charity. The goal is to raise £35,000 for a new, secure bike storage facility for hospital staff who rely on cycling to get to work.
With the support of local cycling clubs, this event is going to be a blast!
The Challange
All riders are encouraged to wear the Sigma Sport kit and have RIDEFOR75 as part of their on-screen name. Additionally, cyclists are being encouraged to create their own version of the challenge, whether that’s riding 75 miles for the first time or lapping Richmond Park on a Boris bike.
Surrey Cycling Club is proud to be a part of the Ride for 75 challenge and we are encouraging all of our members to get involved. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just starting out, there is a place for you in this challenge. We believe that cycling is not just a sport, but a way to bring people together and make a difference in our community.
We are also grateful for the support of our partners, Balfe's Bikes and Sigma Sports, who have generously provided their support for this event. By working together, we can make a real difference in the lives of the staff at Kingston Hospital.
If you would like to make a donation, you can do so on our Fundraising Just giving page. Every little bit helps and we are grateful for your support.
Please Donate
Every little bit helps and it's truly amazing how much of an impact a small donation can have. By donating, even just a small amount, you are making a direct impact on the lives of hospital staff in Kingston who rely on cycling to get to work. The current bike storage facility is not secure, which has resulted in staff bikes being stolen on a regular basis. This new secure unit will not only provide a safe place for hospital staff to park their bikes, but it will also bring peace of mind knowing their mode of transportation is protected.
The goal of the Ride for 75 challenge is to raise £35,000 for a new secure bike storage facility, which will include 78 bays for bike parking, available 24 hours a day for hospital staff who work various shifts. This is a truly remarkable goal, but it cannot be achieved without the support of the community.
Donating to Kingston Hospital Charity is easy, and you can do so through our Fundraising page which you can click on the button below. Every pound helps, and every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. So please, if you have the means, consider making a donation to this worthy cause. You'll be helping to make a positive impact on the lives of hospital staff and supporting a great cause at the same time.
Surrey Cycling Club is proud to be joining forces with other local cycling clubs to participate in this fundraising event, and we hope to see you all there in spirit, supporting us in our efforts. Thank you for your generosity and for supporting the Ride for 75 challenge.
