A simple non profit idea – enthusiasts support privateer mountain bike racers
“As group of like minded mountain biker mates we were inspired by a recent Ben Cathro video, Ben couldn’t race due to injury so he decided to help some privateers – What a Legend ! So after a short discussion we decided it would be better for us to buy one less piece of carbon or one less oil slick component and instead use that cash to kick off thedirtfundproject where we aim to support Privateer EWS & World Cup Downhill racers from the UK & Ireland” Website: www.thedirtfundproject.com

The Sunflower is a globally recognised symbol for non-visible disabilities, also known as hidden disabilities or invisible disabilities.
Not all disabilities are visible – some are not immediately obvious. They include autism, chronic pain, and learning difficulties as well as mental health conditions, mobility, speech impairments, and sensory loss such as speech, sight loss, hearing loss, or deafness. They also include respiratory conditions as well as chronic conditions such as diabetes, chronic pain, and sleep disorders when these significantly impact day-to-day life. Although you may not be able to see these invisible impairments and conditions, they’re still there.
People living with these often face barriers in their daily lives including a lack of understanding and negative attitudes. So some choose to wear the Sunflower lanyard to discreetly identify that they may need support, help, or just a little more time in shops, transport, or public spaces.
Raising awareness of dangerous traps on mountain bike trails – A recent surge in bike sales due to a certain pandemic has caused increased violation of public mountain bike trails.

The female cycling community is continuously growing. Every day more women are realising the wonder of the sport and ever more groups are forming. These groups are great for building up confidence, growing passion and sharing skills. However as a less mainstream sport, its often difficult for people to get into and join groups. Therefore we wanted to create a day which enables and encourages this. In 2020 we ran a great day to celebrate cycling, bringing together lots of women from all over Sheffield to share our passion of riding bikes and share our experiences.

TotalMTB for me is a great organisation that helps give back to the mountain biking community. Helps bring awareness to something that most people can’t see within a friend or family member. Mental health is something to be mindful about. Health mind, health life.Blake Samson
Mountain biking is vital to my mental health, and I think it's rad how TotalMTB is spreading their message and building a community around this topic. It doesn't matter who you are, everyone is going through something and knowing you're understood and supported goes a long way.Mark Matthews
It gives me great pleasure to support the TotalMTB community. These guys do so much in the global cycling community to help people that need it most in an area most people struggle to talk about. I'll always be backing TotalMTB and anyone who stands alongside them.Ben Moore
