Charity Spotlight : Riding 320 miles in 3 days to raise money for sport in our community.

Lending our time, support and money to a variety of charitable causes means a great deal to all of us at Vizion Wealth LLP and this month, myself, along with my wife Sue and 25 other riders, will return to the saddle to ride over 320 miles in 3 days to raise funds for Milton Keynes Rugby Club. We’re proud to be supporting this team of brave men and women, most of whom are locals and care a great deal about supporting and promoting active lifestyles in their community and encourage you to do the same!

Aptly named, the ‘Ring of Fire Bike Ride’ starts in Dunkirk (last year’s finish line) we’ll be making our way through France, into Belgium and right round to the Hook of Holland in what will be a 320+ mile ride, taking in the sights and sounds of Europe at road-level. Like last year’s route, this year’s course will give us the chance to visit a number of WWI and WWII memorials, burial sites and important historical monuments that bring a sobering and humbling tone to our trip, for which I’m very grateful for.

In addition to donning our lycras, oiling our bike chains and cleaning out our stocks of numbing cream; all riders have been raising as much awareness and money as we can to make this year’s charitable bike ride as successful as ever – looking to top last year’s total of just over £50,000!

How will the money be spent?

MKRUFC are looking to raise funds to further develop their clubhouse’s facilities and the fabric of the junior section of the club. Most importantly, they’re trying to get more youngsters off of their sofas and out, onto the rugby pitch learning new skills in sports, socialisation and community spirit.

Martyn Nixon, club Chairman says: “We’re an ambitious club with bright opportunities ahead of us and this is shown in our recent fundraising efforts. As a volunteer-led club, we’re keen to attract new supporters as well as sportsman from around our local community to get involved and expand our reach throughout Milton Keynes, continuing to offer great sport facilities to all ages, abilities and sexes.”

This is a remarkable opportunity and a valiant effort for riders and support crews alike and we need all the help we can get. Vizion Wealth are proud to be participating and sponsoring the trip but there’s still more you can do –  my colleagues and I are appealing for more sponsors, so please follow the link below and make whatever donation you’re able to.
