RHN Ride Richmond is taking place on the morning of Saturday 25 September. This is a brand new sponsored cycling event in support of the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability in Putney, which provides 24 hour care and rehabilitation for adults living with complex brain injury.

This new challenge is 29.1km and follows the Pretzel route through the picturesque Richmond Park with testing climbs and mixed terrain.

There is a registration fee of £20 or sign up with a friend for £30, with a fundraising target of £250 per person. You will receive top tips on how to reach your goal as well as a JustGiving page link to kick start your fundraising.

What you will get:
• RHN cycling jersey
• Fundraising and training tips
• Marshalls along the route
• Finisher medal
• Snacks and drink
• Optional bring your own picnic to celebrate
• Thank you and certificate presentation at the hospital

People come to the RHN following traumatic brain injury which can be caused by traffic accidents, sporting injuries, assaults, or medical emergencies such as stroke, heart attack or asthma attacks. They also care for people living with neurological conditions such as Huntington’s disease and Motor Neurone Disease.

By taking part in this fundraising event you will help to provide additional therapies, services and equipment which will help to improve quality of life for patients at the RHN, whatever their ability.

Like Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site.
