For children with critical illnesses
When a critical illness turns a family's world upside down, there is a need for vital research, improved treatments, and a respite from the hardship. This is what we raise funds for.

Every summer, we cycle to Paris to raise funds for children with critical illnesses and their families.
But Team Rynkeby's journey begins long before we set off for Paris. From September to July, we train, seek sponsors, and organize events across eight countries. Will you join us?

When a critical illness turns a family's world upside down, there is a need for vital research, improved treatments, and a respite from the hardship. This is what we raise funds for.

Some have countless kilometers in their legs, while others are hopping on a racing bike for the very first time. Then there are those in the support team, ensuring that everything runs smoothly. Throughout the season, they get to know each other and form a team where everyone can rely on one another.

A season includes local fundraising activities, long days on the road, and ultimately, arriving in Paris. You share it all with people who started as teammates but often become lifelong friends.
Together with around 500 volunteers, the riders are divided into more than 70 teams across eight countries.
Companies contribute money, products, services, and practical support that enable the teams' local fundraising efforts.
Since 2002, participants, sponsors, and local communities have raised this amount for children with critical illnesses.
In each country, the funds raised go to organizations that support children with critical illnesses and their families. They finance research, treatment, and support that make a real difference in the everyday lives of these families.
