Cycle To Amsterdam: Over £1,500 raised so far, £2,000 is the target

In less than a month, Dale supporters Simon Hammonds and Peter Oliver will get on their bikes to represent Rochdale Football Club at this year’s Cycle to Amsterdam Challenge.

By signing up for the challenge, they’ve joined 500 other fans/club staff from across the football league in pledging to raise money (a minimum of £1,000 each) for Prostate Cancer UK.

So far, the pair have raised almost 80-percent of their total target, thanks to donations from friends, family and fellow Dale supporters, but need one last push to get them over the finish line.

The club has set up a Team-Rochdale JustGiving Page where supporters can donate:
