Cycling for Children is back for its sixth edition on 6-8 October 2023
On Friday, Saturday & Sunday 6-8th of October 2023, Janssen and MedTech colleagues from across the EMEA region will cycle to raise money for a good cause. Together we can achieve so much more and that’s why for the first time in Cycling for Children history, we will officially unite with Johnson & Johnson MedTech EMEA colleagues of this previously Janssen EMEA Community Impact initiative raising money for charity.
What to expect?
All employees are invited to help raise money for UNICEF by cycling kilometers, from anywhere in their neighborhoods (with colleagues, friends or family members), the gym or at home. For every kilometer cycled the Johnson & Johnson Foundation will donate €1 to UNICEF.
This edition is a hybrid event where colleagues can join virtually, but also join local group rides that are being organized across the region in various countries.
Our focus is to support children and their mental well-being and that’s why we decided to collaborate with UNICEF, providing mental, psycho-social and community-based support for children and caregivers affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. This program is also working to protect unaccompanied children and reunite those who have become separated from their families.
Our goal for 2023
For more than 2,200 employes to participate during the weekend and ride more than 100,000 kilometers together.
The 2022 edition
Last year we celebrated the fifth anniversary of this event with impressive results.
We had a record number of participants and donated €100,000 to UNICEF in support of children affected by the war in Ukraine.
We are very proud of all employees joining this event and helping our communities in need. Good luck to all participants this year!
