Santa Charity Cycle for Shooting Star Children's Hospices - Saturday, December 11, 8.30am

Please join the cycling Santas raising money for Shooting Star Children's Hospices and delivering gifts.

For the last nine years teams of cycling Santas have cycled our 17 km route from outside Whole Foods Market, Richmond, to deliver gifts to the incredible children at Shooting Star Children's Hospice in Hampton who are suffering with life limiting illnesses.

It has grown from humble beginnings to an annual must do activity on the Richmond Festive season calendar.

Last year, despite Covid restrictions, they were able to run a virtual experience and raised £4,693 for this incredible charity. This year they are back to deliver the gifts to the hospice in person.
