I work for the children‘s charity Railway Children based in South Cheshire and we are launching a brand new cycle event in July this year – the Tour de Yorkshire. Following the stage one route of the Tour de France we are inviting cyclists to join us just a week after the professionals pass through and challenging them to cycle the same 120 miles, starting and finishing in Ilkley. The event welcomes both individual and team participants.

 For individual participants, there is a £55 registration fee and a minimum sponsorship ask of £100. To enter a team of four people, the registration fee is £50 per person and the minimum sponsorship ask is £50 per person.

Railway Children is a charity which cares and protects for some of the world‘s poorest and most vulnerable children living alone and at risk on streets and railway platforms in India, East Africa and right here in the UK. If you would like to learn more about the charity or the event itself, please visit www.railwaychildren.org.uk/tourdeyorkshire. Alternatively, please email our events manager Katie Mason at k.mason@railwaychildren.org.uk.

Thank you for your time.

With kind regards,

Louise
