Get on your bike and make a difference this year – help Macmillan support those suffering with cancer
The Macmillan Dorset Bike Ride, an iconic annual event now celebrating its 36th year, is once again gearing up to make a significant impact in the fight against cancer. This beloved fundraising event, which has been sponsored by Sunseeker International for the past 19 years, draws hundreds of riders each year.
Scheduled for Sunday, 7th July, the ride will commence from Corfe Mullen, offering participants the choice of circular routes spanning 38, 48, or 63 miles through the picturesque Dorset countryside. Riders of all abilities are welcome to join whether as an individual or with family and friends as part of the ‘Team Challenge’. Riding together as a team will foster camaraderie, friendly competition, and collective support for such a life-changing charity.
As part of the ‘Team Challenge’, Macmillan is also encouraging Dorset’s vibrant business community to sign up and support this year’s event. Simply register a team name during the entry process and all participants can expect free team photos, completion medals, team certificates and top fundraiser prizes, adding an extra layer of motivation to an already fulfilling endeavour.
Bryan Jones, Marketing Manager at Sunseeker International, a supporter of the Macmillan Dorset Bike Ride for an impressive 19th consecutive year, commented: “As longtime supporters of the Macmillan Dorset Bike Ride, we’re thrilled to once again rally our employees and community to join this meaningful cause. It’s not just about the ride; it’s about coming together to make a difference.”
Peter Smith-Nicholls, Ride Organiser, echoed this sentiment, stating, “The Dorset Bike Ride embodies the spirit of unity and purpose. By rallying people across Dorset, we’re not only raising crucial funds for Macmillan Cancer Support but also fostering a sense of solidarity and community spirit in our fight against cancer.”
