When critical illness turns everyday life upside down for a family, there is a need for vital research, improved treatment, and respite from the difficulties. That 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 begins long before the journey to Paris. From September to July, we train, seek sponsors, and organise activities across eight countries. Would you like to join us?

Some have many miles in their legs, while others are getting on a racing bike for the first time. Others are part of the service team, ensuring that everything runs smoothly. Throughout the season, they get to know each other and become a team where everyone can rely on one another.

A season encompasses local fundraising activities, long days on the open road, and ultimately arriving in Paris. You share it all with people who started as teammates but often end up as lifelong friends.
The application deadline is 31 August 2027.
Application for the 2027/2028 SeasonTogether with around 500 helpers, the riders are distributed across more than 70 teams in eight countries.
Companies contribute with money, products, services, and practical assistance, enabling 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 organisations that support children with critical illnesses and their families. They finance research, treatment and support that make a difference in the families' everyday lives.
