Their objective: to gather over £50,000 in support of two meaningful causes deeply cherished by all involved.

The Matt Hampson OBE Foundation stands as a beacon for individuals facing catastrophic sporting injuries. Inspired by Matt's own journey, which began after he suffered a life-altering injury rendering him paralysed from the neck down, the foundation strives to provide top-notch facilities and support. Matt’s resilience and determination to embrace life to the fullest serve as a guiding light for others in similar situations. Our mission is to contribute to the foundation's daily operations and ensure its ongoing support for those in need.

Ed Slater's battle with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association spurred the creation of the charity 4Ed, rallying friends and colleagues in a relentless fight against the cruelty of MND. From offering vital support to affected families to raising awareness about MND's impact, the charity's efforts bring about profound changes in the lives of those grappling with the physical, mental, and social repercussions of this devastating illness.

Inspired by the indomitable spirit of Matt and Ed, as well as their shared experiences Leicester Tigers and within the rugby community, the team of cyclists and support crew is determined to conquer the arduous journey in just over two days. Notably, the majority of riders are over 60,adding to the feat's remarkable nature as they don their lycra, oil their chains, and pump up their tyres once again!!!
