FOR THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE. ON THE STREET

Team of Friends

You know each other. You know your stories. And perhaps you also know that one moment when the phone rings and nothing is the same again.

  

A friend who suddenly doesn't show up for an after-work beer. A colleague who loses her hair. A neighbor who no longer answers the door. 48,000 people are diagnosed with cancer every year in Switzerland. At some point it hits someone you know. And then you're left with the feeling that you want to do something, but you don't know what.

   

Here's the what: Put a team together. Get on. Drive off.

Because friendship is proven on the street

Why friends drive

You don't need an association, a company or an organization. You only need yourself. A team name that tells your story. And a reason that connects you.

Maybe you are riding for Sarah's mother, who has just finished her third chemo. Maybe for your friend Marco, who has made it and is now a cancer survivor. Maybe for someone you have lost and whose gap still hurts.

And maybe you just ride because you're together. Because friendship speaks loudest when it's pedaling instead of sending flowers.

Real friendship doesn't happen in a group chat. Real friendship is shown on the street.

A day you will never forget

What you take with you

The picture of all of you at the start line - nervous, excited, a little overtired from the night before. The silence on the course when everyone is thinking about someone else. The moment when you cross the finish line together and hug each other without saying a word. 

 

And afterwards: Standing together in front of the stage, a beer in your hand, music in your ears and the feeling that this day has changed something. In you. And between you.

What this does to your club

Cohesion that you can feel

What no other shared leisure experience can do.

  • A memory that lasts - Not the birthday party, not the city trip. But the day on which you did something valuable together.
  • A team name that tells a story - «The invincibles». «For mom». «Sarah's Riders.» Your name will be on the donation page. And it will take on meaning.
  • Cohesion that you can feel - Sweating together for someone you care about brings you closer than nice evenings out and trips.
  • Pride that radiates - To yourselves. To your friendship. To what you have achieved together.
  •  
Enthusiasm is contagious.

How to get your team to the start

How to get your team of friends to the start

  • Choose team name - Personal, creative, meaningful. This is your banner.
  • Design jerseys - Same color, same print, same reason. On the track and in the photo afterwards.
  • Share your story - Why are you riding? For whom? A post, a message, a short video - personal words move more than any campaign.
  • Donation challenge - Challenge those around you. Who activates the most donors? Friendly competition for a real cause.
