Thank you for visiting the Blue Marine Foundation's team fundraising page.

Following the tremendous success of the inaugural London to Monaco
Cycle Ride in 2016, Blue Marine Foundation (BLUE) is busy getting ready for this year's ride, which we hope will be even bigger and better! The event will run from Sunday 17 - Tuesday 26 September 2017. 

This year, we have partnered with Rapha Travel a leading global
cycling company who are organising the 10-day event. 

Cyclists will depart from London, where they will experience a
celebrity send off and arrive at the Prince's Palace in Monaco to receive a royal welcome by Prince Albert himself, the day before the Monaco Yacht Show. 

The challenging but rewarding event will see cyclists cover over
1400 km and 19,000 metres of elevation while raising vital funds for BLUE's work. 

The Blue Marine Foundation (BLUE) is working to solve the
crisis of overfishing by creating marine reserves and sustainable models of fishing. 

Over-fishing represents a major food security issue and has
devastating consequences for the fragile biodiversity of our planet. Around 90% of global fish stocks are fully or over-exploited and around 90% of large fish are gone. The consequences are far-reaching, not only for the future of food for a growing global population, but because healthy oceans absorb half the CO2 we produce.

BLUE aims to put 10% of the world's oceans under protection by 2020 and 30% by 2030.

Last year, we raised over £250,000 for crucial ocean conservation. Funds raised went to two projects: Aeolian Islands and Ascension Island. 

We're hoping to raise even more funds for twice as many projects, including Ascension Island, Aeolian Islands, The Solent and Beyond Plastic Med. 

Thank you so much for your support.
