Supporting Cycle Against Suicide – Portugal N2 Bike Ride Challenge

Sarra Boumellil • June 19, 2026

We were proud to take part in the Portugal N2 Bike Ride Challenge in support of Cycle Against Suicide, cycling along Portugal's iconic N2 route from Chaves in the north to Faro in the south.

Covering more than 700 kilometres, the challenge tested endurance, determination, and teamwork while raising awareness for an important cause.


By taking part, we aimed to support Cycle Against Suicide and help spread the message that it's OK not to feel OK, and that seeking help is a sign of strength. Mental health affects individuals, families, workplaces, and communities, making awareness and support more important than ever.


Thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout this journey. If you would like to contribute to this fantastic cause, donations can be made via our fundraising page:
