Welcome

For 25 years, Team Rynkeby has shown that collaboration pushes boundaries. That determination can become hope. And that ordinary people – when working together – can make an extraordinary difference for children with critical illnesses.

 

To mark our anniversary, we have gathered 10 stories about people who, over the past 25 years, have made a lasting difference for others, helped shape Team Rynkeby as an organization and helped carry the yellow hope all the way to Paris.

 

We hope you will enjoy it.

10 Stories of Determination, Action and Hope

It all began in 2002 with 11 riders and one idea. Today, Team Rynkeby is an international community of thousands of volunteers who cycle towards Paris for one shared purpose every year: to support children with critical illnesses and their families when life is at its most vulnerable.

 

Our story is best told through people: those who fight for others. Those who receive help and move forward with their lives. And those we lost along the way.

Some stories are personal. Others are about partnerships that made it all possible.

Team Rynkeby was born from a simple idea - to make a difference together. With Eckes-Granini and Rynkeby Foods, our founding partner, we look back on a shared history - and forward to continued impact for children with critical illnesses.

"So why does Team Rynkeby matter to us, the Eckes Granini family? Because it proves that when people unite for a purpose, they create real change — today, tomorrow, and for generations to come."
