Your Chance to Save Lives and ride the Tour de france!

The Tour 21 sees a team of extraordinary amateur cyclists take The Tour de France – one week ahead of the professionals.

Since 2015, former pros, dedicated amateurs and blood cancer patients have ridden side by side and conquered the world’s most iconic cycling event, raising more than £5 million for Cure Leukaemia.

NOW IS YOUR TIME.

For the first time ever, the Tour 21 will start with a Grand Depart in the UK with 3 stages in Edinburgh, Liverpool and Cardiff. Push your limits across iconic climbs, fast flats and unforgettable landscapes – all with full support and a professional team by your side.

This is The Tour 21, and it’s your chance to ride into cycling history.

Every pedal powers pioneering research. Every stage helps to save lives.

By supporting Cure Leukaemia, you’re supporting groundbreaking clinical research and life changing access to clinical trials for blood cancer patients across the globe.

Making an impact for blood cancer patients across the globe

Funds raised by The Tour 21 are vital to support the Trials Acceleration Programme, a pioneering initiative that speeds up access to potentially life-saving treatments. The TAP Network links expert research nurses and clinical trial centres, enabling patients to benefit from cutting-edge therapies that might otherwise take years to reach them.

Each Tour 21 rider is connected with a TAP Centre, meaning you'll have the chance to meet the teams and patients you will be making a difference to!

“The monies raised through this event helps fund clinical trials into new targeted medication that makes treatment for blood cancer much more bearable than traditional chemotherapy. I can testify as to how remarkable this type of treatment is as I am now on Cycle 3 (of 12) of my targeted medication plan to treat my Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia and the results are very encouraging as are the lack of side effects."
