DESCRIPTION:The annual Sponsored Ride and Stride is a national event\, and
  every second Saturday in September cyclists\, walkers and runners are out
  making money for their local county Churches Trust.\n\nThe idea started i
 n Suffolk\, and is now held across England\, with Suffolk leading the tabl
 e of funds raised.  The Ride and Stride is the main source of income to Su
 ffolk Historic Churches Trust to enable it to make grants to churches and 
 chapels of all denominations towards repair and restoration costs.\n\nRide
  and Stride is run entirely by volunteers and is inter-denominational\, wi
 th participants sponsored for each place of worship visited between 9.00am
  and 5.00pm on Ride and Stride Day or with a donation\, regardless of the 
 number of churches visited.\n\nThe money raised by each cyclist or walker 
 is shared equally between the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust and the plac
 e of worship nominated by the participant.\n\nAs important as the particip
 ants are the many volunteers who give up the day to man the churches and c
 hapels and sign in the cyclists and walkers as they arrive.  Hundreds of p
 laces of worship are manned during the day and that takes quite a team of 
 volunteers!  It is a real community effort that is the lifeblood of the Tr
 ust.
