Every year in June, The FireFlies cycle over the Alps to the South of France. The challenge is to ride more than 1,000 kms over at least 20 mountains in 8 days.

Inspired by the courage it takes to fight cancer, The FireFlies is a celebration of life, love and friendship. Bicycles are involved, but so are tears, laughter, mountains, ice-creams, reggae music and uncommon amounts of joy.

Our commitment is to raise money to support life-saving research into the causes and treatment of leukaemia and blood cancers. We ride for those who cannot, it’s tough but nowhere near as tough as the fight with cancer.

The FireFlies is a family. Being a FireFly is a privilege earned and measured by how much you give rather than how much you take.

All FireFlies are created equal. Anyone can do it. Often the longer you take to get there, the more you give to someone else and the more you learn about yourself.

Fighting for every inch of road is like fighting for every moment of life. That’s why the ride needs to be tough. To date, The FireFlies Tour has raised over £ 2.4 million for those who truly suffer.
