We’re challenging you to cycle 100, 250 or 500 miles in 30 days.

Pedal faster, push harder, cycle further. If you enjoy the rush of mountain biking with friends, the buzz of a gym spin class or the serenity of a home cycle in front of your favourite show, there’s a challenge for you. No matter how you tot up those miles, each one matters to people affected by dementia. 

Sign up to Cycle for Dementia for free, select your distance and set up a fundraising page.  

As a recognition for all your hard work we'll send you a medal when you raise £100 and an Alzheimer's Society cycling jersey when you raise £300. You can wear them with pride knowing you gave help and hope to people affected by dementia.

How far will you go for dementia?

Feel the love, support and community when you join our Cycle for Dementia Facebook group. Share tips, progress updates and words of encouragement with your fellow cyclists. 

What you need to know

It's free to take part and there's no minimum fundraising target. We'd encourage every participant to raise £100 and earn their well-deserved medal. 

You're responsible for tracking your own mileage. Track your distance using your phone, smart watch or other device. You can link your Strava app or Fitbit to your JustGiving fundraising page to keep your friends and family up to date with your challenge.
