Tudor Ring of Fire 2024

2024 marks my 5th Ring of Fire charity bike ride. This year, we are going to ride from Paris...back home to MK rugby club....approx  350 miles over 4 days.

In addition, as in previous years, i'm bolting on an additional ride. Me and 3 other idiots will be taking part in the "chase the sun - North" ride... a double-century feat over an epic 200 miles leaving from the beachfront at Whitley Bay at the first ray of ocean sunrise aiming to reach the esplanade at Ayr to witness the (hopefully glorious) sunsetting into the sea beside the Isle of Arran. 

Our aim is to raise funds for the following charities...so please help where you can....which as much as you can.

• Willen Hospice - provide free care to end of life patients and their families in Milton Keynes and surrounding areas.  Only 15% of their running costs are met by the NHS, the rest is fundraised. As a much needed community facility who have supported many of us personally,  ROF are happy to continue to raise vital funds for Willen Hospice. 
• Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) - in the UK, at least 12 young people die a week of undiagnosed heart conditions. CRY is working to reduce the frequency of this, to support those who are diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening cardiac condition and bereavement services to those families affected by Young Sudden Cardiac Death (YSCD).  We aim to raise enough money to have a cardiac screening day for all MKRUFC players aged 14-35 years to identify anyone who may be at risk.
• MKRUFC - originally formed in 1870 as Wolverton Rugby Club, MKRUFC continues to provide a well-established rugby program for both kids and adults.  Funds raised allow the club to maintain and develop this community facility and to provide an opportunity for rugby to thrive in Milton Keynes.
