Story

I am raising money for the London Taxi Drivers' Charity for Children. 

The LTCFC charity was set up in 1928 and its primary aim is to support, help and relieve children disadvantaged by reason of health or poverty and children deprived of parental care.

As part of the London Taxi Drivers' Charity for Children's (LTCFC) fundraising activities for 2019, a group of 15 riders, comprising LTCFC Committee Members, fellow taxi drivers and friends will be attempting the 55 mile London to Brighton Cycle Ride on Sunday 15th September 2019.

As most of the participating Committee Members and their associates haven't ridden a bike since their teenage years, the 55 mile course may prove challenging, but they are all determined to complete it. 

It must be said that there are varying levels of fitness within the group, but they are now all committed to their individual training plans and can be found most Sunday mornings energetically cycling (or should I say ‘huffing and puffing’) around Central London and the Greater London area.

The aim is to raise a minimum of £5000 to put towards the overall cost of the charity's Mad Hatter's Tea Party, which is held every January at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

This annual event treats over 600 children disadvantaged by physical/mental impairment or domestic/parental circumstance
to a fun filled day that they will never forget. 

Please help me to raise money for this fantastic cause.

The charity also gives financial help and support for the purchase of medical, communicative and recreational equipment to schools, hospitals, hospices and individual families in the London and Greater London Areas. 

More information about the London Taxi Drivers’ Charity for Children and the 15th Sept 2019 London to Brighton Cycle Ride can be found on the LTCFC website at: https://www.ltcfc.org.uk/

Could I please thank you in advance for contributing and taking the time to visit my fundraising page.
