Biking for Children in Care is organised by a group of dedicated supporters who every year take on a new cycling challenge. The event continues to go from strength to strength and has raised over £300,000 in recent years for our work supporting children in care. An amazing £40,000 was raised from last year's Loire Valley cycle ride to support a project to improve the literacy skills of children in care.
This year's cycle will take on the wild north country, cycling between Hadrian's Wall and the Scottish border and along the banks of the stunning Kielder Water and Kielder National Forest. They plan to visit Newcastle, Carlisle and some amazing places in between.
This 200-mile cycle takes place over a long weekend Thursday 24 to Monday 28 June 2010.
