Welcome to the Ride of the Ruperts for Whizz Kidz!
Please enjoy some of the photos and videos of our events taken over the years, and learning about what we do, and why!
“The Ride of the Ruperts is not about riding for yourself. It’s about riding for the children who face challenges every single day. Young people with big dreams, but with barriers that stand in their way. So we ride to simply help them – because they do need our help. Every mile we cover brings us closer to a world where disability never means impossibility. This is more than a motorcycle ride. It’s a promise. A promise to stand beside disabled young people, and to show them the road ahead is wide open. Together, we ride for fun. But together, we ride for them.”
Our increasingly popular annual Winter Walk for Whizz Kidz is a 10k walk (definitely not a hike – there’s far too much coffee and cake involved!) from the Relais Cooden Beach Hotel to Galley Hill, Bexhill and back.
Full of riders (on legs this time!), friends, families, the general public and well behaved dogs! The hotel kindly supports us at the end of the walk with free hot drinks and cookies!
Walkers gather around the hotel or inside (you do need to pay for any drinks before the walk) at 10am for a 10.30am departure. Often the weather is very kind to us, despite the time of year, and it’s a terrific opportunity for everyone to meet old friends – and make new ones, too!
How does it work as a charity fundraiser? Well, we ask all walkers to pay £10 into a JustGiving page that we set up at the beginning of December. Simple! And it’s raised £15,500 for Whizz Kidz to date!
