As the world of rugby looks forward to the annual Six Nations Championship, a group of cyclists, many of who took part in the Head for Edinburgh and massive Head for Lyon challenges previously, will take to their bikes again to cycle from Cardiff to Richmond to raise vital funds and awareness for the charity that seek positive and practical solutions to brain injury in rugby and football.

Cyclists may find the distance less arduous than what they have previously encountered, however, the February weather in the UK might prove otherwise!

The cyclists will make their way from Principality Stadium in Cardiff, cycling over 146 miles over two days and aim to arrive at the home to London Welsh RFC at Old Deer Park in Richmond on Friday, 9th February 2024, in time to watch the always epic match of England v Wales on Saturday, 10th February 2024 at London Welsh RFC.

They will not be alone because they will be joined on the challenge by rugby legends Denis Betts, Ben Breeze, Kevin Brown, Tony Copsey, Matt Dwyer, Cliff Eccles, Dafydd James, Kieran Low, Ben Pegna and Mark Robinson as well as Head for Change founder Alix Popham.

A number of partners and sponsors are also doing their bit to support this challenge. So a big thank you to Orbis, Melin Consultants and We Cycle.

Please show your support to all the riders by donating whatever you can. The money raised will go directly towards the education, care and support and potential treatments in rugby and football through Head for Change.

Our goal is to create a safe space for our sporting heroes, past, present and future that suffer from sports-related brain injuries and connect with the best brains in science and research to make positive change.

We are determined to continue to raise awareness and educate people about sports-related dementia in the sports we love. With your support, we are fundraising for much needed research in the prevention and cure for early onset dementia and neurogenerative disease in the sport we love.
