This is brilliant to see and good advertising
Published 2 December 2016
The event will be televised live internationally and last year over 2 million supporters lined the route; it is therefore an amazing opportunity for the Society to raise awareness of dementia and of our work, and also to raise much needed funds to help us in the fight against dementia.
The news was announced at a press conference on 2nd December at the Impressions Gallery, Bradford, where the full race route was also unveiled. The men’s race will take in the six host towns of Bradford, Bridlington, Fox Valley (Sheffield), Harrogate, Scarborough and Tadcaster over three stages.
Tour de Yorkshire, now in its third year, is organised by Welcome to Yorkshire and was originally inspired by the resounding success of the Grand Depart of 2014’s Tour de France, which took place in Yorkshire. It is now the best-attended professional cycle race in the UK, and includes a high profile women’s race.
Keen amateur cyclists can sign up to the Tour de Yorkshire Ride. All participants will be given the option to ride in aid of Alzheimer’s Society, making every mile count by raising vital funds for those affected by dementia.
Michael Dent, Director of Fundraising, said of the news:
Alzheimer’s Society are also keen to hear from any businesses, schools, cycling clubs or other organisations who would like to get involved in supporting the partnership.
