FUNDRAISERS are being called to saddle up for a new overseas challenge in aid of The Shakespeare Hospice.
The Ride to Remember takes place this September and is a four-day, 300-mile journey. It will see a team of riders depart from the hospice in Stratford, traversing the rolling English countryside and iconic French villages, before a triumphant finish at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.
The event aims to raise vital funds for The Shakespeare Hospice, which provides free, specialist palliative care and bereavement support to patients and families across south Warwickshire. With each rider aiming to raise £1,950, the collective impact will fund hundreds of hours of frontline nursing and emotional support for those facing life-limiting illnesses, and the fundraising team are on hand to help.
Hospice spokesperson Sarah Wakeman said: “This isn’t just a physical challenge; it’s an emotional journey. Every pedal stroke helps ensure that no family in our community has to face their hardest moments alone. We provide the training plans and the mechanical support – all we need from our riders is the heart to take on the journey.”
The challenge is designed for all abilities, featuring a fully supported route with experienced tour leaders, luggage transfers, and a dedicated support vehicle.
Registration is open until March 31 and spaces are limited.
