A huge thank you None of this would have been possible without the enthusiasm and hard work put in by the group. A massive shout out to the team of cyclists and the incredible effort that went into training and completing the ride on the day. And, big thank you to the TDR2021 team for organising the event and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Not forgetting our amazing support team, without their help the 80 miles would’ve been a lot tougher. You can still donate to this year’s ride via the Tour Dare Ride 2021 JustGiving page. Take on a challenge in 2022 and raise awareness and funds for TCF? TCF are partnering this year with Ultra Challenges to bring you a mix of different fundraising events for you to get involved in. There’s something for everyone from gentle walks along the Thames to 100km ultra marathon in the Lake District. You can walk, run or jog at your own pace, by yourself or with friends. If you have a team of colleagues who want to do an activity together there is also that option. There are 2 different fundraising options, pay a small fee and fundraise more for us or pay a larger fee and fundraise less. Just choose whichever one suits you. Caroline Vidler, one of our members, took part in the Three Bridges Trek last year and really enjoyed it. The challenges are incredibly well run and have strong Covid measures in place. If you do sign up please select SEE ALL CHARITIES and click on the tab marked Children and you will find The Compassionate Friends listed here. Any problems email jenny@tcf.org.uk.
