#C4G2016
This year, we are partnering with PACES to raise awareness on the role of sports in the well-being, mental health and growth of children in Gaza. Our 51 cyclists will travel 240km from Gaustablikk to Oslo to raise £250,000, which will be used to develop vital sports programs for Palestinian boys and girls.
