The first places to ride are now available through Maggie’s charity, helping them to raise vital funds for the new Maggie’s Yorkshire Centre, being built at St James’s University Hospital in Leeds.

Maggie’s currently have 19 Centres and one Online Centre open across the UK, providing free practical, emotional and social support to people with cancer and their family and friends.

There are exciting plans afoot to open the doors to a brand-new Maggie’s centre in Leeds in early spring 2019.

You can support bringing Maggie’s Yorkshire to Leeds with an opportunity to guarantee your place early amongst the 6,000 cyclists, and ride key sections of the final stage just hours before the Pros on the same roads as the 2014 Tour de France Stage One.
