Amsterdame10 Sponsor Information
June 11th - 15th

 

This is an amazing event, taking 60 novice female cyclists on a 250+ mile bike journey from York to Amsterdam and back again all with the aim to raise a massive £30,000 for Marie Curie Cancer Care, but they need your help!

 


Thank you for checking out the Amsterdame10 Sponsor Information page. It's especially encouraging knowing that you've made it this far even though the financial climate is pretty horrific at the moment. Inevitably we're asking for your help to either sponsor a rider, donate some money to Marie Curie, donate a prize that we can give to the best fundraiser or donate some items that we can raffle in order to raise money.

In return we will advertise your generosity on this website, on the justgiving site that the ladies are using to raise funds online, on the ride t-shirts and in any press releases we send out about the event and of course you'll be safe in the knowledge that you've done your bit to help a worthy cause! You can even claim tax relief as we can get Marie Curie to provide you with a receipt for your donation!

The sponsorship options are detailed a little below, but first some information on the event itself.

Julia Bradbury helps out at the 2008 event!
The 60-strong team will leave York on June 11th and cycle the 55 miles or so to Hull where they will catch the overnight ferry to Rotterdam. They'll then cycle from Rotterdam Europort to Amsterdam, some 75 miles away, before staying over in a city centre hostel. Having had a little rest they'll then do the whole thing in reverse in order to finish back in York on June 15th exhausted but elated!

Julia Bradbury kindly gave up some of her time to attend a pre-event get-together for the 2008 event. Click on the picture to see her website gallery photos.

 

Ways in which you can help:

    Find out about Marie Curie!
  • Sponsor a rider. Each rider has to not only raise money for the charity, get out as much as possibly in advance of the ride to try to put in hours in the saddle to make the event as pain-free in the bum area as possible, but also has to pay for their accommodation and transport fees. Could you help here by sponsoring one (or more) of the Amsterdames? The costs involved here are £195 per rider. If you could sponsor one that would be a massive help and leave them free to concentrate on raising money for Marie Curie.


  • Donate a prize! To help encourage the ladies to raise money, we could offer a prize for the person who raises the most money for the charity. Do you have a suitable prize that you could donate? For example, last year's prize was a Champagne Spa Day in London. We added £100 to help pay for the winner to get to London and back! Please contact us for further information, or if you wish to donate a prize.

    • Find out about Marie Curie!
  • Simply donate to the charity. You could just email us and make a pledge (use the contact us page) or donate directly onto the JustGiving website at http://www.justgiving.com/amsterdame10 where you can add your own comments, including your company name and website address. We can arrange for a receipt for your donation to be sent to you in return and will also add your logo, company information and web link to our websites and put your logo on the ride t-shirts.
  • Donate to our raffle!Donate items for our raffle!

    We will be trying to raise money through a number of raffles and would welcome any items that you could spare. All of the money raised will be donated to Marie Curie Cancer Care. Please remember that every little helps and a mere £20 pays for an hour of a community nurses time.




  • The Corporate Award!The Corporate Award!

    Last but by no means least, the Corporate sponsor who donates the most money towards this event will receive an personalised glass award with their logo, company name and details etched into it so that it can be displayed with pride!

    We will also endeavour to send you a framed team photo of all of the Amsterdame10 ladies!





 

Once again, many thanks for your time and please see if you can go that extra mile to help these ladies hit their massive sponsorship target. They're really going to be pushing themselves to the limit during four 10-hour days and your support is invaluable to them and of course to Marie Curie.
