Team Rynkeby’s Charity Ride sets sail onboard Finnlines

Team Rynkeby, a long-standing charity initiative dedicated to supporting children with serious illnesses, began its annual charity bike ride onboard Finnlines’ Finnstar. This year’s journey from Helsinki to Travemünde marked the start of another meaningful charity ride to Paris.

Established in 2002, Team Rynkeby has grown into a significant international project with the mission of raising funds to support children and their families battling cancer. Finnlines is proud to continue its partnership in this initiative.

There are many ways to participate in the project: as a cyclist, a member of the support team, or by sponsoring the project or through other forms of cooperation. All help is needed to support children and their families battling with cancer.

“The community participating in the project shares common values of helping sick children while promoting the message of exercise, caring for others, and having fun. Team Rynkeby’s values are the foundation on which the team’s seamless cooperation, commitment, and success are built. This is evident in the cheerful group that tirelessly trains in all weather conditions, always keeping in mind the main goal of the project: helping children,” says Lea Koivisto, Team Rynkeby Finland Country Manager.

The journey from Helsinki to Travemünde was relaxed and cheerful

The cyclists ate and rested on the ship in preparation for the upcoming Tour de Paris. Cyclists made the most of the crossing by resting, enjoying nutritious meals, and preparing for the road ahead. Meetings were held in the most exotic locations, from the children’s ball pit to the tiny dance floor at the bar, while some participants also managed to train in the ship’s gym and relax in the sauna and the hot tub at the spa.
