Your charitable impact: how you make a difference

This week, we tallied up the final totals of this year's first two fundraising rides, Knight Frank Cycle to MIPIM and the inaugural Cycle to PAW.

We are absolutely delighted to share that Cycle to MIPIM has raised in excess of £277,800 and Cycle to PAW has raised more than £10,600. This is an incredible achievement by every single one of you and we cannot thank you enough. 

At this year's Knight Frank Cycle to MIPIM reunion, the gathered riders presented the fundraising cheque to the charities. The money raised will be used in the following ways:

• Coram can fund 21 activity days, helping children find that loving home, or deliver 1,240 sessions of post-adoption support, such as creative therapy for children dealing with issues such as trauma.
• Cyclists Fighting Cancer will help children living with and beyond cancer to get pedalling on their road to recovery by providing them with a standard two-wheeled bike, a specially-adapted trike for a child with more complex needs, a tandem if the child has sight loss, or an adapted bike because a prosthetic is used.
• The Tom Ap Rhys Memorial Trust will pay for hundreds of young people at risk of being recruited into gangs, being excluded from school or of re-offending, to receive mentoring, pastoral care and vocational training through one of four flagship programmes.

Your efforts really do change young lives, and you can read about this in more detail in EG.
