Have you ever fancied participating in the epic London to Brighton bike ride??

We invite you to participate in the London to Brighton Cycle Ride on 15th Sept 2024 and raise funds for Harry’s Rainbow. This 55-mile ride from Clapham common to the seafront in Brighton through beautiful Sussex countryside and over some challenging hills.

Why ride for Harry's Rainbow?

Harry’s Rainbow aims to give bereaved children a brighter tomorrow by offering support groups, trips, events, a stay in our caravan retreat, and mental health support. It costs almost £700 a year to support one child; we currently have 800 children registered with us, 75 of whom have since January 2024. By participating in this ride and raising funds, you are making a real difference in their lives, helping them navigate their grief and find hope for the future.

In the past, Harry’s Rainbow has been able to help arrange transport to and from the event, have volunteers meet you at the finish line and cheer you on along the route. Unfortunately, like many other small charities throughout the UK and the world, funding and resources to offer this support level are sadly unavailable today. That is why your help is vital to our survival.

So...

Your target is to raise a minimum of £300.00 per person. This amount includes:

A £55 ride registration fee is to be claimed after riding
A Personalised Harry's Rainbow T-shirt with corporate sponsors added if required
A lunch bag – provided by the event hosts
Medal – supplied by the event hosts
A fantastic sense of achievement and the knowledge that you've made a difference to bereaved children!

NEXT STEPS (or pedals!)

Decide to ride!
Gather a team (you can ride alone, but it is more fun with a group)
Register yourself/your team via the link below.
Set up your JustGiving page and fundraise - £300 minimum to reclaim the registration fee post-ride and funds received.
Let Harry's Rainbow know who is running and your JustGiving page link.
We will send you a T-shirt order form.
Book your transportation. The event hosts offer a coach from Brighton back to London, but you need to book your place quickly (additional charges apply).
Train, Train, Train!!
Ride wearing your HR T-shirt, take lots of photos and have fun.
Send us the photos, AND if you raised £300 or more, claim back your registration fee.

Ways to keep the costs low...

Travel costs.

You could look into corporate sponsorship, and we can add their logo to your Harry’s Rainbow T-shirt (if they agree) and add their details to the social media posts along with your JustGiving page links.

Travel with other riders and share the fuel. You may know someone completing L2B for themselves or another charity, so why not buddy up and travel together?

To help with registration costs.

If you raise £300.00 or more through your JustGiving page, we will refund you the entry fee for the event once Harry’s Rainbow has received the money.

If you are cycling in a team, the total money you raise must be £300 x’ the number of team members to qualify for the refund. For example, 300 x 5 team members = £1500 raised in total.
