Paris2Nice Fundraising 2025
We were delighted to attend the Paris2Nice fundraising event where the causes who received funding from the efforts of the Paris2Nice cyclists got to meet up with the cyclists and acknowledge the great work done by all. We were blown away by the generosity and friendship extended to us at this event. It was a wonderful night celebrating fundraising and friendship at Drury Buildings (thanks to Warren Massey). WE echo the Paris2Nice thanks to all the trainers and sponsors without who's efforts the cycle couldn't take place. This year, Paris2Nice raised over €700,000 across 24 different causes. Well done
