Why cycle for Ovarian Cancer Action?
By cycling for us, you'll be joining a passionate and unstoppable community taking action to fund life-saving ovarian cancer research. You'll not just be taking on an iconic cycling challenge - you'll be part of changing the future for all women.
Is this event only for experienced cyclists?
Trips are graded Yellow, Orange or Red, in increasing level of challenge. This trip lies within the yellow range.
The London to Paris cycle is a 'yellow entry level challenge', however this is designed as a challenge - so we'd recommend using a training plan to prepare to reduce risk of injury.
What does my fundraising support?
Your funds will help us make faster progress towards making ovarian cancer a survivable disease. Every day, 12 women die of ovarian cancer. Your support will mean we're able to fund research that focuses on the prevention and treatment of ovarian cancer, transforming how long and how well women will live.
Your fundraising will also help us to raise awareness of the symptoms of ovarian cancer, so people know what to look out for, which saves lives.
Can you support me in fundraising?
Our friendly fundraising team is here to support you at every step of your fundraising. We can provide advice, materials, and ideas to help you smash your fundraising target. We allow our walkers 4-6 weeks after the event to reach their minimum fundraising target, so there is plenty of time to collect sponsorship and raise as much as possible to support our essential work.
