Reigate to Paris

The Cause

 

Alzheimer’s Society is a United Kingdom care and research charity for people with dementia and their carers.

 

It is a membership organisation, which works to improve the quality of life of people affected by dementia in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

 

Many of the 25,000 members have personal experience of dementia, as carers, health professionals or people with dementia themselves.

 

The society relies on voluntary donations from the public through fundraising and other activities.

 

For more information on Alzheimer’s Society, visit their website.

 

The Challenge

 

To cycle 140 miles from Reigate to Paris (via Newhaven - Dieppe), raising money and awareness for the Alzheimer's Society.

 

The team is looking forward to a quite challenging ride which will include the dreaded South Downs climb, a fair bit of open landscape (=windy!) cycling in France and finally to get through the maze that is Paris to get to Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile.
