What is the Tour de Nowhere?

The TDN is a charity cycle where Liam, the owner of OSA will be cycling the length of the Tour de France in just 14 days starting April 29th and finishing May 12th. The twist is that he's doing it all outside the shop on a stationary bike! He'll be averaging 160 Miles a day and being on the bike for 10hrs each day of the 14 days!

Why are we doing it?

OSA is turning 9 years old, and to celebrate, we're doing a charity challenge! If you were around last year, you will know that our last challenge was cycling 1350 miles, the length of the UK and back home to Cardiff. We had an amazing time and raised over £6000 for 3 amazing charities. This year Liam is going solo, and he's turning it up a notch! 2200 miles in 14 days! We just want to use our little milestone and our little community for something bigger than ourselves, and so rather than just celebrate ourselves, we want to give back and do some good!

Who are we doing it for?

Our chosen charities this year are 2Wish and Velindre Cancer Centre. 2wish is a local charity that do amazing work giving families the support they need after suffering the sudden and unexpected death of a child or young adult under 25. They offer counseling, play therapy for children, support groups, and much more. The Velindre Cancer Centre is a specialist facility offering inpatient and outpatient cancer care and research. Unfortunately, many of you will probably know someone who has been under their care, and it goes without saying how important their work is. Join us in this fundraising challenge, and let's give these charities the support they deserve!

How can you support us?

Like last year, we will have many ways you can support us, such as the charity collection where 100% of profit goes to our chosen charities, a raffle, and our JustGiving page. Additionally, we will be donating 20% of all of our in-store profits from all sales during the 14 days to the charities too! So get yourself down to OSA show Liam some support (he's gunna need it) grab yourself some clothes, and support a good cause at the same time! We will also be releasing a raffle like last year, but it is yet to be released. You can get your support in by purchasing an item from the TDN collection or donating at our JustGiving page below!
