3 Counties, 3 Days and 1 Challenge - Support EACH With Pedal Power

Three counties, three days and one epic challenge – how you can use pedal power to support EACH

Fundraisers are gearing up for a bumper biking challenge in aid of East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH).

The charity’s popular Ride for Life event is returning next year and will feature a 200-mile cycle ride across East Anglia.

It will take place from 6^th to 8^th May 2022 and a one-day package is also available, covering approximately 70 miles.

EACH Events Fundraising Assistant Jessica Mallett said: “It’s going to be another epic event.

“The ride takes in three counties across three days and is sure to be a very special challenge.

“It’s fully-supported and bound to offer a truly great experience for both keen cyclists and amateurs alike.

“Friendships will be forged, goals accomplished and memories made – all while enjoying the beautiful East Anglian countryside and raising vital funds for EACH.

“It’s still a few months off but because it’s a big cycling challenge, it would be great if people signed up before Christmas.

“That way they have plenty of time to train and fundraise for it.”

The three-day package starts and finishes at Johnston Logistics UK, in Snetterton.

Cyclists will be in the saddle for approximately seven to eight hours a day and dinner, bed and breakfast and luggage transfers are included.

The registration fee is £100 and the target sponsorship £600.

Alternatively, a one-day package is available, where the registration fee is £30 and the target sponsorship £150.

There are three options, with day one on 6^th May taking cyclists from Snetterton to Ipswich.

Day two (7^th May) is from Ipswich to Milton, in Cambridgeshire, and day three (8^th May) is from Milton to Snetterton.

All cyclists will benefit from a fully signed and supported route, first aid assistance, a back-up vehicle for the full journey, a kit list and training information, daily route information cards, mechanical support, refreshments and lunches along the route, fundraising help and support and a medal.

EACH cares for children and young people with life-threatening conditions across Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk.

It relies on voluntary donations for the majority of its income and needs to raise over £5.5 million from fundraising and £5.4 million in income from our shops each year. Events of this nature are therefore absolutely crucial, particularly after such a challenging year.
