2. ABOUT TEAM RYNKEBY
One morning in July 2002 11 exercise bikers
in connection with Rynkeby Foods left Ringe,
bound for Paris. Before them they had 1200
km road, seven laps and an adventure for life.
The 11 exercise bikers and their assistant were
the first Team Rynkeby.
The team had prepared the tour for more
than six months. They had planned the route,
arranged hotel accommodation and found
sponsors. Rynkeby Foods was the principal
sponsor, but the bikers also managed to find
other sponsors. Actually, the bikers managed
to collect so much money that there were
38,000 DKK in surplus when the team re-
turned to Ringe one week later. And instead of
making a party and celebrating the tour they
decided to donate the surplus to Børnecan-
cerfonden. And thus a tradition started.
Since 2002, Team Rynkeby has been cycling to
Paris every summer, and each year the team
has collected money for Børnecancerfonden.
Concurrently with the enlargement of Team
Rynkeby the amount collected has also in-
creased. In 2011, Team Rynkeby also counted
two Swedish teams, which meant that the bi-
king team could also favour Barncancerfon-
den - the Swedish sister organization of Bør-
necancerfonden. In total, 584 bikers and 139 CHILDREN SHOULD NOT ONLY SURVIVE

you that at least 85 per cent of all funds
collected are sent directly to Børnecan-

“Can’t our company just sponsor Børnecan-

Yes, easily! But when you sponsor Børnecan-

ensure that Børnecancerfonden is having
maximum attention to their work. Each year,
Børnecancerfonden gets many new spon-
