Marie Curie Cancer Care is calling on everyone looking for a challenge to sign up for the charity’s London to Paris Cycle in July 2014
![]() |
PRESS RELEASE: Following Britain’s dominance of Le Tour, and the fact that the world’s biggest bike race is coming to the UK next year, Marie Curie Cancer Care is calling on everyone looking for a challenge to sign up for the charity’s London to Paris Cycle in July 2014.
Following being named as the official charity of the Tour de France in the UK in 2014, on Friday, Marie Curie is inviting people to emulate Sir Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome, whilst also raising funds for a vital cause. The three-day event takes place between 24th and 27th July 2014 and coincides with the final weekend of the Tour de France in Paris, guaranteeing a unique experience watching the rider’s race for the finish line along the Champs-Élysées.
Participants will cycle to the White Cliffs of Dover, before sailing to France for two more days of cycling through the French countryside to Paris. At the end of the 300km route, participants will cycle through the boulevards of the French capital, before crossing the Seine and finishing at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.
All the funds raised from the London to Paris Cycle Challenge will help Marie Curie Nurses provide more free care to people with terminal illnesses in their own homes and in the charity’s nine hospices.
Regional Events Fundraiser, Ed Turnham said: “The London to Paris Cycle is the perfect opportunity for anyone interested in cycling, keeping fit or simply looking for a new challenge. Following in the footsteps of British cycling heroes, this is a unique chance to wear Marie Curie’s own yellow jersey and to ride triumphantly through the streets of Paris at the end of the challenge. By signing up you will be making a significant difference, helping Marie Curie Nurses to provide more care to terminally ill patients at a crucial time. Added to that the fact that the 2014 Grand Depart, of the Tour de France comes to the UK makes it all the more relevant to British people.â€
