Twenty bold riders and support staff will head across the Atlantic in September to take on DC2NYC, a 400-mile cycling adventure between the US capital Washington DC and Central Park in the heart of New York City.   ![GBRAND\_05-1](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/GBRAND_05-1.png?width=1013&height=785&name=GBRAND_05-1.png)   Along the way, the riders will be rocking their [OddBalls](https://www.myoddballs.com/) with boxers, socks and hats in bold, vibrant designs supplied by the world-famous clothing brand.   Since its foundation in 2014, OddBalls has revoutionised the boring underwear market with a growing range of colourful prints and top-quality products. OddBalls have also championed diversity and inclusion, and through the OddBalls Foundation raised over £1m for charities.   RL Cares Partnerships Manager Nav Uppal said: “On behalf of all the riders and our support crew, we’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the team at OddBalls for their fantastic support of DC2NYC.    “OddBalls have been great supporters of our work in recent times and it’s great to have them on board again as a partner on our biggest fundraiser of the year.   Matthew Gibson, OddBalls Head of Partnerships and Licensing, said: “We are delighted to be involved with this event and be working closing with RL Cares again. They do such a great job, and this event is shaping up to be incredible.   “We’re proud to be supporting the riders - quite literally - and hope they enjoy their comfy pants as they battle across the US!”   All proceeds from the ride will enable RL Cares to deliver brain health education programmes to current players and provide dementia support to retired professional players and their families.   The riders on DC2NYC include Rugby League Hall of Fame inductees Adrian Morley and Paul Sculthorpe MBE, who will fly to Washington on Friday September 5 before spending six days in the saddle cycling through five US States en route to Manhattan.   To sponsor Adrian Morley, Paul Sculthorpe or any of the fantastic fundraisers taking part in DC2NYC please click [here](https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/dc2nyc2025/)   DC2NYC is taking place in partnership with principal sponsors [Green Central](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/news/dc2nyc-green-central), specialists in energy solutions including solar systems, heat pumps and boilers.   [blog](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/news/tag/blog) ## **Our Partners** ![EHU New MHSPA Black Logo](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/EHU%20New%20MHSPA%20Black%20Logo.png) ![JUL 2019 Mattioli Woods Stacked Logo NO PLC RGB (1)-1-1](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/JUL%202019%20Mattioli%20Woods%20Stacked%20Logo%20NO%20PLC%20RGB%20(1)-1-1.png) ![Howorth Air Tech Logo](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/Howorth%20Air%20Tech%20Logo.png) ![bartlet](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/bartlet.png) ![logo](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/logo.png) ![UCEN\_Logo\_CMYK](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/UCEN_Logo_CMYK.png) ![all sport](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/Untitled-1.webp) ![oxen-2024-black-copy](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/oxen-2024-black-copy.png) ![Movember\_Primary Logo\_White copy](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/Movember_Primary%20Logo_White%20copy.png) ![images](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/images.png) ![Caffe Nero B&W1](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/Caffe%20Nero%20B%26W1.png) ![exp-atol-logos-stacked](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/exp-atol-logos-stacked.png) [![RL Cares White Text\_White Outline](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Globals/Logos%20NEW/RL%20Cares%20White%20Text_White%20Outline.png?width=175&height=69&name=RL%20Cares%20White%20Text_White%20Outline.png "RL Cares White Text_White Outline")](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/) [![RL Cares White Text\_White Outline](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Globals/Logos%20NEW/RL%20Cares%20White%20Text_White%20Outline.png?width=175&height=69&name=RL%20Cares%20White%20Text_White%20Outline.png "RL Cares White Text_White Outline")](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/) Rugby League Cares is an independent charity that touches upon the lives of people involved at every level of rugby league.    [info@rlcares.org.uk](mailto:info@rlcares.org)   Rugby League Cares is a registered charity in England and Wales (1109858) ![fundraising-regulator12](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Globals/fundraising-regulator12.png?width=175&height=54&name=fundraising-regulator12.png) ![fundraising-regulator12](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Globals/fundraising-regulator12.png?width=175&height=54&name=fundraising-regulator12.png "fundraising-regulator12") **MAIN MENU** - [Home](https://rugbyleaguecares.org) - [Latest News](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/news/tag/blog) - [About us](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/about-us) - [Community](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/community) - [Get Involved](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/get-involved) - [Players](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/players) - [Seriously Injured Players Fund](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/benevolent-fund) - [Contact](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/contact) **ADDITONAL LINKS** - [Donate](https://www.justgiving.com/page/rlcares-brain-health-fund) - Merchandise - [GET HELP NOW](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/get-help-now) **KEEP IN TOUCH** Want to keep up to date on all things RL Cares?
