Former England cricket captain, Michael Vaughan, will lead a host of celebrity friends and fundraisers at the PruProtect Chance to Ride event – a unique cross country cycle ride taking place over four stages.

The ride will raise funds for the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation and the Cricket Foundation’s Chance to Shine initiative. Already confirmed to be taking part are the Olympic gymnastics silver medallist Louis Smith and former England Test bowler Phil Tufnell.

The route will follow the England v Australia One Day International series and advisers will have the opportunity to join Vaughan on one of the four stages, which includes a healthy mix of cycling and a day at the cricket.

There are 20 prizes to be won including four places on the ride to give away to advisers.

The winners will also receive a Vitality goody bag including a £250 Evans Cycle voucher, Polar heart rate monitor, Champneys gift pack and PruProtect rucksack. Plus there are more prizes to be won including £1,000 Vitality vouchers.

Winning advisers will be decided by prize draw and there is no limit on how many tickets advisers can build up as follows:

  • 1 Ticket = Complete the online registration form
  • 1 Ticket = Submit a PruProtect Policy application
  • 1 Ticket = Submit a PruProtect Policy application with Vitality Plus
  • PruProtect will also be running an additional competition for new and existing customers to further drive awareness of the event.

    Justin Taurog, distribution and marketing director for PruProtect, said: “The 12 day ride sees the former England Cricket captain cycle 462 miles as he follows the England team’s One Day International series against Australia. Michael aims to raise money for two charities: Chance to Shine and the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, and we are proud to be the headline sponsor of the ‘Chance to Ride’ charity bike ride in September.”

    The competition will run from 3 June 2013 until 29 July 2013.
