We are delighted to announce that our annual cycle event Ride for Helen Essex is taking place on Sunday 15th May 2022 for its ninth year and registration is now open!
We are also pleased to announce that Bellway are headline sponsors of Ride for Helen Essex 2022!
Greg Spires, Land and Planning Graduate at Bellway said; “As a major developer across Essex, we are delighted to be sponsoring and supporting Helen Rollason Cancer Charity for the ‘Ride for Helen’ event in 2022. We have admired the outstanding efforts of Helen Rollason across the county, and indeed the country, for many years and we are optimistic that the event will be a resounding success. We have been consistently supportive in our fundraising efforts for our own charity partner, Cancer Research UK, and we are relishing the opportunity to show our support for Helen Rollason as they continue to do an invaluable service for those affected by cancer.”
Cyclists from across the county and beyond will be meeting at Crix in Hatfield Peverel, Essex to take part in this fantastic, family-friendly event which offers a choice of five cycling routes to suit all capabilities. All ages and abilities are welcome to join in as individuals or as a team and included in the registration price is a fundraising pack, route maps, route signage, first aid support, mobile mechanic support and recovery, refreshments and a medal for finishers.
This year there are five scenic routes through the beautiful Essex countryside with distances of 6 miles, 15 miles, 30 miles, 50 miles (back for 2022!) and 65 miles all starting and finishing at Hatfield Peverel.

Helen Rollason Cancer Charity ‘spokes-person’ and Community Fundraiser Karen Mitchell said; “We are pleased to announce that registration for our Ride for Helen Essex event taking place on Sunday 15th May 2022 is now open!
We are so excited for Ride for Helen Essex 2022, and plans are already well underway. Bellway have kindly decided to be our Headline Sponsor, which is incredible! We want 2022 to be the most successful year to date so please sign up today, individually or as a team!
It costs around £850,000 annually to keep our charity operational. Therefore, we really need to make this event a success and raise as much money as possible to keep supporting those with cancer.”
