Ready, get set, go – Take on the challenge of riding for The Loss Foundation in the BHF London to Brighton.
We’ve partnered with the British Heart Foundation to offer you the amazing opportunity to take on the famous London to Brighton Bike Ride on the 18th June 2023. The rider ballot to enter with The British Heart Foundation has now closed; however as a charity partner to the race, we still have spaces remaining (they’re limited, so register now).
Riders will kick off the 54-mile route at London’s Clapham Common, riding alongside 15,000 other cyclists to arrive at the finish line on Brighton Beach (most of the event takes place on closed roads).
The London to Brighton Bike Ride 2023 is open to everyone over the age of 14 and of all skill levels – from those who are new to cycling to more experienced cyclists. The event is very achievable for families, groups of friends, and corporate teams. You can ride solo or tandem, on a push bike or ebike (if riding on an ebike, the motor must not exceed 250 watts; and assistance must cut out at 15.5 mph).
Expect plenty of support along the way, with 15 stop off points, and a beachside event village at the finish line, ready for you to put your feet up for a well-deserved rest! Our team will also be here for you in the countdown to the big day (with plenty of fundraising tips and answers to any questions you may have).
Registration costs £30 and all participants are required to raise a minimum of £300 for The Loss Foundation. All money raised will go directly to funding our bereavement support services, helping ensure no one faces cancer loss alone.
As part of our team, you will get:
– A free fundraising pack
– Regular emails ahead of race day to help you prepare
– A cycling jersey (if you raise the £300 sponsorship ahead of race day)
We only have a limited amount of charity places available for the London to Brighton Bike Ride 2023, so please enter now to ensure you secure your place.
First-time charity cycle? Maybe you need some information about how you can fundraise or how the logistics work on the day? Feel free to get in touch with our team who’ll be happy to help: 0300 200 4112 | shelley@thelossfoundation.org
BHF London to Brighton will take place on the 18th June 2023, which is Father’s Day. Maybe this is something you want to do in memory of your Father, or maybe it’s something you want to do to support others who no longer have their father with them.
Whether taking part in memory of someone or just for the challenge, we would love to have you as part of our team! Here are three reasons to ride the BHF London to Brighton…
#1 For the memories you’ll make
Whether going it alone and riding BHF London to Brighton solo, or as part of a team, June 18th will be a day to remember when you take more than a medal away with you.
#2 For the challenge
The London to Brighton Bike Ride is for everyone and anyone. So sign up today for an achievable challenge (you can’t beat that finish-line feeling!).
#3 For our cause
£300 will send 30 people lost in grief to their first support meeting.
£400 would cover volunteer costs of 20 ‘Walk and Talk’ events – where 300 people will unite in grief.
£500 will pay for psychologists to deliver therapy sessions to 120 people – giving them the vital support they need.
