24-hour charity team relay cycle challenge

Jersey Stroke Support, a local stroke charity, is launching an exciting 24-hour Team Relay Cycle Challenge, aimed at raising vital funds to support stroke survivors and their families on the Island.

The event, set to take place on Saturday 28th June at midday through to Sunday 29th June, will bring together teams of riders to push their limits, support each other, and raise awareness and funds for the charity.

Teams of cyclists will take turns cycling continuously for 24 hours around the course, symbolizing the ongoing fight against stroke and the resilience of those affected by it. The challenge is open to participants of all fitness levels, from seasoned cyclists to beginners.

Jersey Stroke Support is organizing this event to not only generate crucial funds for stroke support services but also to highlight the importance of stroke prevention and recovery. Every year, strokes affect millions of people worldwide, making it one of the leading causes of disability and death, with over 150 strokes occurring every year in Jersey.

“This challenge represents the endurance and determination needed by stroke survivors on their road to recovery,” said Tracy O’Regan, CEO and Director at Jersey Stroke Support. “By taking part, participants will be helping us provide life-changing support to those in need. Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or new to the sport, the relay format ensures that everyone plays a crucial part in the journey.”
