London to Paris Cycle Challenge for UNIQUE (Rare Chromosome Disorder Support Group), 13 July 2023
We Provide support and information to improve the care of those affected

Story

I have decided to challenge myself by joining a team with Christian Dior UK in cycling from their New Bond Street Boutique in London to their Avenue Montaigne flagship in Paris. 

We are raising money for a charity, Unique, who support individuals and their families with rare chromosome syndromes.  Last year a friend and colleague, who is organising this trip, discovered his son had a rare chromosome syndrome and I want to complete this challenge to raise money to show my support for this worthy cause.

Leaving on 13th July, the team will test their endurance over 3 days of cycling arriving in Paris on the 15th.  I have never attempted anything like this before and whilst daunting, I am excited to be part of it.  All your donations will really help motivate me in my training to get to Paris! Hopefully in one piece!!!!!!!!!  Thank you so much :)
