All equipment will be provided, with refreshments and entertainment to keep you motivated throughout the challenge.
For every 30-min slot booked per machine, we ask participants to raise £250 to support the vital care provided by Northern Ireland Children's Hospice.
More Than Just a Challenge
Every step and every pedal helps support something truly special.
At NI Children's Hospice, our dedicated teams provide specialist care to local babies and children and their families like Ellie.
9-year old Ellie has been receiving our specialist care as she lives with complex needs due to Spina Bifida and hydrocephalus a rare, life-limiting neurometabolic condition means she requires 24/7 care.
Please take a moment to listen to Ellie's story and learn how much Hospice supports her and her family and others every day.
