In July 2025, I (a very beginner cyclist) will be riding The Route which will see me and a team of up to 25 female amateur cyclists take on the world’s most iconic cycling challenge by riding all stages of the 2025 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift (TdFFAZ) route, just one day ahead of the professionals.

I legitimately cannot begin to express just how huge of a challenge this will be for someone at my only-started-cycling-at-lockdown-and-only-ride-when-it's-sunny-lol-I-know level but none of it will be as challenging as what the humans who suffer from Leukaemia are going through.

Here is the route we (and the pros) will be taking on:

All funds raised will go directly to Cure Leukaemia, the official UK charity partner of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift - who fund specialist research nurses at Blood Cancer Centres across the world.

Cure Leukaemia helps blood cancer patients to access pioneering drug and transplant treatments by funding a network of specialist research nurses across the UK. Without these nurses, to ensure patients are monitored and cared for, clinical trials of these new treatments would not run and patients, that have exhausted standard treatment options, would miss out on potentially lifesaving therapies. Every penny raised for Cure Leukaemia helps save lives and also hastens global progress towards the eradication of all forms of blood cancer.
