Companies from across the UK games industry have come together to support an 840 mile cycling challenge for Games Aid.

Lucid Games, Sports Interactive, Square Enix, Sumo Group and Keywords Studios have signed up as cycling jersey sponsors for Terry Haynes’s effort to cycle between every Premier League ground (and QPR’s) in the country.

Starting on Saturday 9th April at St James’s Park in Newcastle and concluding in Brighton, Terry’s tour will take him the following route.

  • Saturday 9th April, sponsored by Sumo Group: Newcastle - Leeds (109 miles)
  • Sunday 10th April, sponsored by Lucid Games: Leeds- Burnley - Manchester City - Manchester Utd - Everton - Liverpool (110 miles)
  • Monday 11th April: Liverpool - Wolves - Aston Villa (106 miles)
  • Tuesday 12th April: Aston Villa - Leicester City (41 miles)
  • Wednesday 13th April: Leicester City - Norwich City (130 miles)
  • Thursday 14th April, sponsored by Sports Interactive: Norwich - Watford (123 miles)
  • Friday 15th April, sponsored by Square Enix: Watford - Tottenham - Arsenal - West Ham - Chelsea - QPR - Brentford - Crystal Palace (63 miles)
  • Saturday 16th April: Crystal Palace - Southampton (86 miles)
  • Sunday 17th April, sponsored by Keywords Studios: Southampton - Brighton (70 miles)

In addition to fundraising through sponsorship and donations from the public, Games Aid is also raffling off signed football shirts from every club on the tour to support the range of fantastic children’s charities that the organisation backs.

“The support of the UK games industry has already helped me raise a fantastic £30,000 for Games Aid but we’d love to raise even more in the coming weeks,” said Terry Haynes, Co-Chair of Games Aid.

“Whether you’re jumping in as a sponsor or just dipping into your pocket to grab a raffle ticket, every pound you contribute will make a difference to the lives of young people across the UK.”
