The CPFC DSA (Crystal Palace Football Club Disabled Supporters Association) is excited to introduce its second Sponsored Cycle Ride aimed at raising funds for Sarcoidosisuk and the DSA.
Last year the Cycle Ride raised funds for sensory bags for use at Selhurst Park. Our former Chair Bruce Muirhead was the driving force behind the sensory bags campaign and last year’s sponsored cycle ride. In his memory we will be making a donation from the funds raised this year to SarcoidosisUK. Bruce was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis early in his life. It's a condition where lumps called granulomas develop at different sites within the body.
The route will take participants past six London football stadiums, beginning at Brentford and including stops at QPR, Fulham, Chelsea and AFC Wimbledon before concluding at Selhurst Park. If you're interested in cycling with us, there are still spots available!
Donate now via Stripe: You can choose the amount you wish to donate
Our Aim

What is Sarcoidosis?
Sarcoidosis is a condition where lumps called granulomas develop at different sites within the body. Granulomas are made up of clusters of cells involved in inflammation. If many granulomas form in an organ, they can prevent that organ from working properly.
Sarcoidosis can affect many different parts of the body. It often affects the lungs but can also affect the skin, eyes, joints, nervous system, heart and other parts of the body. Most specialists agree that around 1 in every 10,000 people have sarcoidosis in the UK.
