LONDON,Dec. 19 (People's Daily Online) -- Mayor of London's annual festival of cycling 2014 Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 has set a new UK fundraising record after the 20,709 finishers raised more than £10 million for charity. The sum raise was 7 million in 2013.
The route of the 2014 event was shortened to 86 miles because of the wind and heavy rain, the average sum raised for charity by a fundraising rider was again over £900.
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: “Prudential RideLondon is more than just a fantastic celebration of cycling; it is also an event that raises millions for charity. I applaud the effort of this year’s riders, who overcame such difficult conditions, and their generous sponsors, in raising the bar for next year’s ride by generating a record-breaking sum of money for worthy causes.”
"To raise £10 million for charity in our second year is a phenomenal achievement," said Event Director Hugh Brasher. "We are extremely proud of the commitment of our riders, who cycled through some of the most challenging conditions imaginable, and the generosity of their supporters and we plan to help raise even more for charity in future years."
Children with Cancer UK was one of the many charities that raised a six-figure sum and has already started work planning its fundraising for next year’s Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100.
Ben Twyman, Head of Events at Children with Cancer UK, said: "We are thrilled that more than £300,000 has been raised to help in our fight against childhood cancer. This is a fantastic event and we look forward to raising even more in 2015."
