Rapid Relief Team EU Deliver Their Largest Collaborative Event Effort to Date

In July, volunteers from the Rapid Relief Team (RRT), the charitable arm of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church in Germany, Sweden, The Netherlands and France supported Team Rynkeby, a European charity cycling team that raises funds for children with critical illnesses.

The Tour de Paris event sees over 2,000 participants divided into 64 teams, ride 1,300 kms starting in Denmark and finishing in Paris.

“When we ride to the top of the hill we are greeted by the Rapid Relief Team through the scent of their fantastic burgers. We’re starving and tired, we well as having bad weather, but these burgers made up for it.”
