Raising money for children's charities

This year we are raising money for Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity who provides emotional and practical support to families when their child has life threatening or terminal illness. Every year a children's charity is selected as the ride's beneficiary. Over the last 29 years, the ride has raised in excess of £350,000 in aid of different children's charity groups. Previous beneficiaries include Barnardo's, NSPCC, Capital FM's Help a London Child Appeal. Ealing Hospital's Playground in the Sky Appeal. Contact a Family, dEBra, Down syndrome Research Foundation, Whizz Kidz , Richard House , SCOPE, Children with Leukemia, WellChild and Rainbow Trust.
