Team to ride in special TDFF kit

Lifeplus-Wahoo to ride Le Tour de France Femmes in a special kit and #EmbraceEveryMoment.

This Sunday the Tour de France Femmes gets underway in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Lifeplus-Wahoo will be present on the start line as the sole British team taking part.

The team is encouraging cycling fans to #EmbraceEveryMoment too and join the team in celebrating and raising awareness for the second edition of the relaunched Tour de France Femmes by making 10,000 GCN+ passes available for anyone in the UK to claim for FREE. Lifeplus-Wahoo aims to inspire the next generation of female riders and cycling fans.

The team has also adopted the ‘Lifeplus Foundation’ as their leading charity, the Foundation logo is featured on the chest of the new TDFF clothing from Verge Sport. The team is passionate about the campaign and giving opportunities, whether to give the UK public the chance to watch the Tour de France Femmes, the riders a platform to perform or the girls from Western Kenya the opportunity to better living conditions.

The main fundraising effort is to raise money and provide clean water for Bishop Sulumeti Girls Secondary School in Western Kenya. More details on the cause are available here, and you can donate here.

Malcolm Vincent, Lifeplus MD said: “We’re thrilled to be part of this initiative, merging our core values of inspiration and impact with the passion for cycling. With Lifeplus-Wahoo choosing Lifeplus Foundation as their leading charity, it means we can expand our efforts and create an even greater impact.

Having clean water at school will not only be life-changing for health and attendance, it will give the students back the time they need to focus on their education and future goals. This partnership embodies the essence of Lifeplus, as we strive to inspire people and make a meaningful difference in the world. Join us on this incredible journey as we pedal towards a brighter future!

20% of each sale of the Tour de France Femmes Kit and Merchandise will be donated by the team to the fundraising efforts.
