DAY 1 - 2011 FIREFLIES TOUR

Each year the FireFlies cycle 1000 km across the French Alps from Geneva to Cannes raising money for Leuka. 2011 is our 11th Tour ! Since its inception the FireFlies ride has raised over £1 MiLLiON towards on aid of Leuka, a charity established to support a research and treatment unit for Leukaemia led by Professor Goldman at Hammersmith Hospital. Our route is an epic 8 day 1000 km bike ride across the French Alps. The route follows many of the same epic alpine ascents as Le Tour de France, recognised as one of the most arduous cycling journey’s in the world.
