Who is Team Rynkeby
Team Rynkeby was founded in Denmark in 2002, when 11 amateur cyclists associated with Rynkeby Foods A/S decided to cycle to Paris to watch the final stage of the Tour de France. In that first year, they raised enough money from sponsors to donate to the pediatric cancer unit at Odense University Hospital.
This was the start of the charity project that exists today, where the number of participants and sponsors grows steadily year on year - and so do donations to the organizations supported by Team Rynkeby.
Team Rynkeby has teams in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway and the Faroe Islands. But also other European locations.
In 2023, Team Rynkeby donated 9.179 million euros to organizations that help children with serious illnesses.
