Le Loop - supporting the William Wates Memorial Trust

Hi,

If you’re reading this, I hope that you’re about to donate as you probably know I am planning to cycle the entire Tour de France route 2026.

Any questions you have I’m hoping will be answered by the few paragraphs below. 

Thanks in anticipation.

The fundraised money is entirely separate from the participation fee - donations do not pay for my Tour

All monies raised go directly to the William Wates Memorial Trust whose mission is to help the most disadvantaged young people keep away from a life of crime and violence and fulfil their potential. This is achieved by giving grants to charities that engage young people through the medium of sports, arts and education.

It's been a tough couple of years for charities and particularly for young people. This is my chance to give something back and help support young people who aren't lucky enough to enjoy the advantages in life that most of us take for granted.

Le Loop is no small undertaking. Riding even ONE stage of the Tour de France route is going to hurt! 21 will be quite an achievement. Please reward my pain by giving generously.

Merci!
