London to Brighton Bike Ride

How do I get back to London after the challenge?

There will be coaches and bike transportation from the finish in Brighton back to London which you can book at an additional cost. More information will be available closer to the event date.

Is there a minimum age requirement to take part?

Participants must be 18 years old or over to take part.

Is this event just for women?

No, we encourage people of all identities to join the fun! Although breast, ovarian and cervical cancers are most common among women, they affect everyone. Everyone knows someone who is facing or has gone through cancer and the London to Brighton Bike Ride is an opportunity for us all to come together on the mission against it.

How much money do I have to raise?

To take part in the London to Brighton Bike Ride, you are asked to raise a minimum of £100 per rider. This can make a real difference for people affected by breast, ovarian and cervical cancers. £150 would fund Jo’s “Ask the Expert” service for a day, buy a bottle of serum for Ovarian Cancer Action’s scientists to culture cells in the lab and enable Breast Cancer Now to send out 500 leaflets to doctor surgeries in the UK promoting breast checking and highlighting the symptoms of breast cancer, so that more women can catch it early before it spreads. £500 will educate over 1,000 women, including those in high risk groups, about ovarian and cervical cancers and their symptoms, while £1,000 could enable OCA scientists to detect the types of DNA at high risk of ovarian cancer and fund two specialist nurses on the Breast Cancer Now helpline for a day, while also funding the recruitment and training of one volunteer for Jo’s helpline, who will go on to support hundreds of women per year. The more money you raise on this challenge, the higher percentage of that money will go directly towards the charities – and the bigger impact you will make in the mission against cancer. If you raise £500 or more by Friday 4th June, you will get a free official 500 club cycling jersey.
