Did you know that the UK leukaemia survival rate lags behind that in Europe? We know that with earlier diagnosis, we can close this gap so we’re asking you to take on this epic challenge to help fund our early diagnosis work. The aim of the tour is honestly that simple, but we’re also focused on making the tour as much fun as possible! Check out more about the challenge below.

You and your Team LC teammates will spend 4 days in the saddle, cycling 311 miles from capital city to capital city. Your adventure starts in London, taking us through glorious English countryside on our route from Kent to Dover. Once across the channel, you’ll be cycling through France, remember to keep to the right! The latter part of the tour covers quiet country lanes, through traditional market towns with views of Northern France’s rolling green hills, passing the war memorials and cemeteries of the Somme.
And when you think your views can’t get any better, on the home stretch you and your teammates will be cycling around the Arc de Triomphe and along the Champs Elysées, before reaching the piece de resistance, the Eiffel Tower! There may be times when the cycling is tough but the sense of achievement and the euphoric atmosphere you’ll be greeted with is something you’ll never forget. Don’t believe us, check out the photo of the 2023 London to Paris Team LC.
There are two ways to fund this trip, as listed below:
You pay the non-refundable Registration Fee of £125 to Global Adventure Challenges. In addition, you are committing to raising the minimum sponsorship of £1,500. You send the sponsorship money to Leukaemia Care as you raise it. £1,000 of the minimum sponsorship must be received by the charity no later than 12 weeks before departure – 26th March 2025. Failure to do so may mean non-participation in the challenge. The balance of the challenge costs will be paid for you by the charity out of the sponsorship raised. All outstanding sponsorship (£500.00) must be received by the charity no later than 4 weeks after your return to the UK – 16th July 2025. Please do try and raise as much as you can, as every penny you raise over the minimum sponsorship will go directly to help patients, and their families, and allow us to offer them all the advice, information, and support they need whilst facing a leukaemia diagnosis.
You pay the non-refundable Registration Fee of £125 to Global Adventure Challenges. 12 weeks before the challenge you will receive a reminder to pay the challenge balance of £1,277.00 This is in addition to the Registration Fee and is to be paid no later than 12 weeks prior to departure – 26th March 2025. Although there is no minimum sponsorship, we do ask you raise as much as possible for Leukaemia Care.
