Virtual Cycle to Ukraine
Daley Fitness was proud to partner with the Empire Heroes Fund to help raise vital contributions for Ukraine through our ‘Cycle’ to Kyiv initiative.
“I was so happy when Giles asked me to help raise funds for the Ukraine. You see all of the inhumanity being done and at this distance it seems like we can't do anything but we can and whatever we do will be appreciated by all those we help.” Daley Thompson CBE
It all began with an idea - to virtually cycle from our gym to the centre of Kyiv - 1,512 miles. Our members along with the Daley team came together on Saturday 12th March 2022 and managed to cover just over 1,000 miles throughout the course of the day.

Our second fundraising event held on Saturday 26th March 2022 saw our dedicated team of members and friends complete the remaining 500 miles, raising just under £5,000 between our two just giving links.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Ukraine.
