This September around 20 participants will head to the United States to take on DC2NYC in Partnership with Green Central for an unforgettable cycle ride from Washington DC to New York City.
The riders include RL Hall of Fame inductees Adrian Morley and Paul Sculthorpe MBE and Green Central’s Managing Director James Elston, a former York and Dewsbury player who is looking forward to maintaining his proud record of having cycled every mile of every RL Cares ride since the inaugural Ride to Wembley in 2017.
James Elston said: “From a purely business point of view, Green Central are thrilled to have the opportunity to cement our relationship with a charity that works really hard to enhance the lives of people across the communities in which we live.
“Green Central and RL Cares share so many values and it’s fantastic to be able to continue this very special partnership.
“And from a purely personal perspective, I can’t wait to take on this latest challenge: I cycled into Manhattan from Niagara Falls with RL Cares three years ago and it was an amazing experience.
“The rides are a tough challenge at times but the memories you create, together with the cause itself and the funds we raise, make the pain more than worth it.”
Rugby League Cares Chief Executive Chris Rostron said: “We would like to thank James and all the team at Green Central for their generous sponsorship of the ride and for their continued support of our work. It really is appreciated.
“DC2NYC in Partnership with Green Central is our biggest fundraising event of the year and this sponsorship will make it even more special.
“Just as the reach of the charity has grown over the last 10 years, Green Central has grown as a business and that’s not coincidental. We are pleased to work alongside such a forward-thinking company.”
