Cycling4Charity 2025 – The sportive challenge for a future without epilepsy
On 14 June 2025, the fourth edition of Cycling4Charity will take place, organised by Rotary Club Amstel & Vecht. This sporting event offers participants the opportunity to climb the Col du Grand Ballon in France, a challenge that can be taken on cycling, hiking or running.
This year, the event is dedicated to EpilepsieNL, due to a personal connection: the fiancée of one of our members lives with epilepsy, which introduced us to the organisation. The foundation works for people with epilepsy and supports scientific research.
The challenge
The Col du Grand Ballon is one of the most famous climbs in the Vosges region and offers a tough but beautiful challenge for any athlete. Whether you’re an experienced cyclist, a passionate runner, or a determined hiker, the Col du Grand Ballon is for anyone who wants to challenge themselves and contribute to a worthy cause.
The route, which offers breathtaking views, pushes participants to exceed their limits. It’s the perfect opportunity to stay active, test your physical limits, and take an important step in supporting EpilepsieNL.
Why participate?
Climbing the Col du Grand Ballon is more than just a sportive achievement. It’s an opportunity to support people with epilepsy. EpilepsieNL works to improve the quality of life for people with epilepsy through research, patient education, and scientific studies. By taking on this challenge, you contribute to their efforts and help the fight against epilepsy.
What can you do?
- Participate: Whether you choose to cycle, run, or hike, the challenge is the same: conquer the Col du Grand Ballon. It’s a great way to push your own limits, challenge yourself, and contribute to an important cause.
