From the 1st - 8th September Kyle & Amy will be cycling 2000km home from Italy. Starting at the Pinarello Factory in Treviso, via the Pinarello shop in London, where Amy will be doing a mental health/ endurance cycling talk before cycling back to Derby on the final day of the trip.

The weekend before the event on the 24th August, 12 riders will join Amy & Kyle cycling 100 miles as a warm up for their event.

First Steps ED supported Amy & her sister in the past & Amy previously worked at the charity. They provide eating disorder support as well support for other mental health illnesses.

Eating disorders are common in sport, particularly in cycling so we wanted to raise money for this charity to raise awareness & give back to somewhere that helped us.

First Steps ED is an award-winning and quality-assured eating disorder charity working in areas throughout England to offer care and support to adults, children and young people. The team is on hand to provide coping strategies and recovery services to individuals and families of all ages, genders and backgrounds.

Our founding principles are built up from experts from experience, offering a service that helps those living with an eating disorder and their families, as well as break down the stigma around eating disorders.
