History

30 mile circular bike ride around Stokesley to raise money for

"A Celebration of Life after Cancer" Charity

The Stokesley Charity Cycle Ride started when Paul Mackintosh "volunteered" to "do a bike ride" for a two and a half year old girl called Chloe Brown who was suffering from a very rare form of cancer. Her grandparents, Des and Hazel Brown, wrote to Paul thanking him for agreeing to organise a charity bike ride. The rest they say is history.

A different charity has been selected for each of the ten years that the event has been organised and overall a total of over £70,000 has been raised.
