While the Dartmoor Classic annually makes substantial donations to several good causes, of its own choosing, it is promoted as a cyclo-sportive event and not a charity ride. We are aware that, through individual sponsorship, participants do target the event to raise funds for charities of their own particular preference; and this we fully support. This year, we are announcing our choices of beneficiaries ahead of the event and, if you want to use your ride to collect money for a good cause but have not yet chosen one, then may we suggest you consider one of those we will be supporting to benefit from your efforts. 
FORCE (Friends of the Oncology and Radiotherapy Centre, Exeter)
(Registered Charity 296884) was founded in 1987. The charity is
based in Exeter, Devon and supports a clinical research programme at
the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital as well as providing
professional support to families and carers. FORCE now has a purpose
built cancer support and information centre which receives over
13,000 visits every year.
Despite many years of growth and change FORCE has never lost sight of it's origins and the fact that anyone diagnosed with cancer deserves the best possible support and treatment close to home.
