OrchidCycle Essex – Ten years on
This year marks ten years since we first put on the ride so in honour of such a big milestone we are celebrating the theme of ten!
- Enter a team of 10 – one for each year!
- Ask 10 friends or colleagues for £10 each
- Our top ten fundraisers this year will all win a prize
- Have you taken part in all 10 rides? If so please let us know so we can try and get some valuable media coverage about your heroic efforts.
Fundraising and Rider Pack
By taking part in our 10th ride you'll be helping us raise awareness of male cancers as well as raising vital funds. Your entry fee goes entirely towards funding the costs of putting on the ride. We therefore rely on your fundraising to help fund our vital work fighting male cancer. Please ask friends and family to sponsor you generously and in turn help us to save men's lives. Once you've signed up for the ride you'll receive a fundraising pack with sponsor forms and a rider pack with training tips and rules of the road. We're also on hand to help you with any questions you may have.
Why not get started straight away and set up an online fundraising page at www.bmycharity.com/orchid.
All fundraisers will receive a free T–shirt with prizes for our top three fundraisers!
