Le Loop: Six Everests, One Ride, One Reason.
Why I’m Riding the Le Loop and Why Your Support Matters
This summer, I’m taking on one of Europe’s toughest endurance cycling challenges: the Le Loop Grande Loop. It is not a race. It is a sustained test of physical resilience, mental focus, and commitment — ridden over consecutive days, across legendary Alpine climbs, with minimal recovery and no shortcuts. I’m doing it for a reason that goes well beyond the bike.
The Challenge at a glance
- 21 consecutive stages
- 3,500 km across Spain and France
- 54,450 metres of total elevation gain
- The equivalent of climbing Mount Everest almost six times from sea level
Why This Matters
Endurance challenges like the Grande Loop strip everything back to fundamentals: discipline, perseverance, and the ability to keep going when stopping would be easier. Those same qualities are essential to tackling the causes this ride supports. Your donation directly enables work that changes outcomes — not in theory, but in reality.
The Impact of Your Support — Backed by Evidence
- £50 can fund vital frontline support or specialist equipment that directly improves someone’s quality of life
- £100 can contribute to early-intervention programmes proven to reduce long-term harm and cost
- Every £1 donated typically delivers £3–£5 of social value, according to UK charity impact assessments
- Charitable programmes focused on early action and sustained support can reduce downstream costs by up to 40% while improving outcomes
- This is not symbolic giving. It is measurable impact.
Why I’m Personally Committed
Training for the Grande Loop requires months of structured preparation, early mornings, and sustained sacrifice. I’m committing the same level of seriousness to fundraising.
I’m asking sponsors to match that commitment — not with words, but with action.
Why Donate Now
- Momentum matters: early donations drive visibility and participation
- Collective effort amplifies individual contribution
- Every climb completed will be fuelled by the knowledge that this effort is delivering real-world benefit
This ride will be hard. That is the point.
How You Can Help
- Donate — any amount genuinely makes a difference
- Share — visibility multiplies impact
- Sponsor — larger contributions directly accelerate outcomes
If you believe effort should mean something, and challenge should serve a purpose, I invite you to support this ride.
Thank you for backing the miles, the climbs, and the cause.
