Dear visitor!

Thank you for your interest and joining this little blog where I share some experiences with regards to my charity and volunteering work.

As a member of Team Rynkeby, Europe’s biggest charity bike team I am supporting children suffering from critical illnesses and their families. When children are suffering from critical illness (such as cancer), their entire family can’t have a normal living. Everything will be exhaustive. We raise donations on behalf of the Deutsche Kinderkrebsstiftung, a recognized and certified non-profit organisation that organises and supports many local projects. Affected families can find a restful place to recover from all the stress they are facing. Team Rynkeby, Europe’s biggest charity bike team, has started this great initiative more than 20 years ago, and it is growing year after year.

Team Rynkeby is a very meaningful initiative where cyclists can combine social engagement with what they love the most: cycling. Nearly 70 teams from across Europe, e.g. from Scandinavia, Germany and Switzerland will start their own bike tour, to meet 8 days and 1,200 km later in Paris. The famous Stade-Vélodrome Jacques Anquetil is a great place to celebrate such a huge achievement. No one of us takes it for granted to manage such a journey.

How do we help?

As one of the eight Rynkeby teams from Germany, Team Rynkeby Berlin will start its own journey for a good cause and of course each year. Ahead of this journey we seek for donors and supporters who will be recognised as such on our jerseys as well as on our website and in social media channels.

Secondly we organise charity runs also know as school runs. The concept is simple as the children at a school join such a run their gather donations by their parents who agree to a certain amount of donations ahead of the event. Soon I will be able to provide more information on this.

🤔 How can you help?

👉 Take part in our campaign. That means you support us supporting other who need help the most.

👉 All you need to do is to use this link. You can proceed from there and leave a donation which will be transferred by 100% to the Deutsche Kinderkrebsstiftung directly. This campaign is running until end of the season in August 2026. After that, however, we will set up a new campaign once the new season has started by September 2026.

👉 Furthermore, you can share this link to draw more attention to this.

👉 Sign up and apply here to become a team member next season, to be part of something really good. You can sign up as a rider or to become a member of our support team (several organisational help around our bike trip to Paris). Or as a motorcyclist to support us on the road during our bike ride.

🙏 On behalf of so many families and our team: thank you so much! 💛 💛
