A charity is organizing an event in which cyclists will ride from Edinburgh to Dublin in three days to help raise money for the Marie Curie Cancer Care.

The organizers aim to raise up to £100,000 for the cancer charity. The 220-mile cycle ride will be completed in three days. The organizers are inviting up to 60 people for participating in the event that is set to begin on 12 July.

Robbie McIntosh, the charity's events manager for Scotland said that the ride between the two capitals will be an unforgettable experience for the participants. "The 220-mile route takes in some of Scotland and Ireland's most beautiful roads and countryside while raising funds to enable Marie Curie to continue its invaluable work throughout the year," he said.

All the participants will have to pay a registration fee of £150 and pledge to raise a minimum of £1,250 in sponsorship. The registration fee will cover accommodation, meals, the ferry crossing and return flight to Edinburgh, as well as a support team including a bike mechanic that will be available with the participants throughout the trip.

The Marie Curie Cancer Care employs more than more than 2,700 nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals and provides health care to 31,000 terminally ill patients in the UK. The staff is aiming to boost the funding for the charity through the event.
