Join or Support the Don’s Cycle Challenge 2025: Be Part of Something Bigger!

The Don’s Cycle Challenge isn’t just a 50-mile ride; it’s a journey of hope, community, and transformation. Whether you’re pedalling through the Kent countryside or supporting from the sidelines, your involvement helps AFC Wimbledon Foundation change lives. Here’s why you should join us or donate to this incredible cause.

Ride for a Greater Purpose

When you sign up for the Don’s Cycle Challenge, you’re not just taking on a cycling adventure—you’re helping us empower lives. AFC Wimbledon Foundation runs vital programmes that:

- Support young people through education and mentorship.

- Promote inclusivity in sports, ensuring everyone, regardless of ability, has the chance to participate.

- Tackle social isolation and mental health challenges in our community.

- Every mile you ride, every pound you raise, fuels these initiatives and helps us create lasting change.

A Ride Like No Other

The Challenge starts at the iconic Cherry Red Records Stadium, taking cyclists on a scenic 50-mile route to Gillingham FC’s Priestfield Stadium. Along the way, riders experience:

- Breath-taking views of the River Thames and the Kent countryside.

- A chance to bond with fellow Dons fans, staff, and community members.

- A well-earned pub stop and lunch before cheering on the Dons with a free match ticket in the away end.

This isn’t a race—it’s a celebration of togetherness and resilience, welcoming cyclists of all abilities." Patrick, AFC Wimbledon Foundation Team

Make a Difference Without Riding

If cycling isn’t your thing, you can still make an impact by donating. Every donation, no matter the size, supports programs that:

- Provide opportunities for young people to thrive.

- Offer support to isolated individuals.

- Help build a stronger, more connected community.

Why We Need You

With a minimum fundraising target of £400 per cyclist, every donation counts. Your support ensures we can continue to deliver life-changing programs to those who need them most.

“The Don’s Cycle Challenge isn’t just about cycling—it’s about making a real difference in people’s lives.” Paul, AFC Wimbledon Foundation Team
