Story

Cycling the Cantii Way

Over 15-19 June 2023, the Biking for Children in Care team are cycling 200 miles along the historic Kent Cantii Way. Beginning in Faversham, over 50 riders are cycling along the Kent coast down to Rye, there turning inland and cycling to the finish line in ancient & spectacular Canterbury.

Over 22 years, this community of committed and generous individuals have fundraised over £942,000 for Become, the national charity for children in care and young care leavers. They're £58,000 this year away from £1million raised since 2002!

This is huge for our small charity and the hundreds of children in care and young care leavers we work with. Biking for Children in Care are a pillar of funding for Become." - Katharine Sacks-Jones, CEO of Become

By donating and helping us reach £58,000 this year, this incredible community will reach the phenomenal £1million lifetime milestone!
