Ride for Valencia: Support Flood Victims

Help Valencia Rebuild After Devastating Floods

Hi, my name is David Longden and Paloma Ortiz-Lopez, and we are the founders of Pedal and Pause, a cycling tour business deeply connected to the Valencia region. We are raising funds to support those affected by the recent devastating floods in Valencia, where thousands have lost their homes, belongings, and means of transportation.

After speaking with people on the ground, it’s clear that many individuals are not receiving the urgent help they need. NGOs, while essential, have been slow to respond, leaving families to fend for themselves in this critical time. This is why we decided to step in and start this fundraising effort.

Why This Cause Matters

Valencia is more than just a place where we work—it’s home. Seeing the devastation in our community and the struggles of friends and neighbours has been heartbreaking. We've already been involved in private initiatives, like collecting bikes for transportation, but the need is far greater. Now, We're asking for your help.

How Will the Funds Be Used?

Your donations will be used to:

• Provide immediate aid directly to families and individuals in need.

• Help rebuild lives by offering practical support, such as transportation through our bike collection initiative.

• Assist in restoring essential infrastructure and basic necessities.

100% of the funds will go DIRECTLY to those affected, ensuring every donation makes an immediate and tangible impact.

How Will Beneficiaries Receive the Funds?

We are working with trusted local contacts and community members to identify and prioritise those in urgent need. Every step of the distribution process will be transparent, and We will share regular updates on how your contributions are being used.

This is an opportunity to act where help is most urgently needed. No matter how big or small, your donation will bring hope to those who feel forgotten.

Thank you for joining us in standing with Valencia and helping our community rebuild stronger. Together, we can make a real difference.
