2024: What a Year! Here’s to an Even Bigger 2025
Wow! what a year it’s been for Live Like Ralph!
When we started this journey, we talked about “baby steps” to honour Ralph’s legacy, and now those baby steps are starting to feel more like giant leaps.
Thanks to all of you, 2024 has been full of incredible moments, milestones, and memories.
2024: What We’ve Achieved Together
Here are just a few of the highlights that made us smile this year:
Incredible Support from Partners: Organisations like Vans, Ecclesiastical, and Vera Wolstencroft have provided vital funding, helping us to grow and support more communities. Thank you!
Smashing Events: Our biggest and best ever Ralphfest brought the fun with skating, music, and more.
The Tour de Ralph was a coast-to-coast adventure like no other!
Making Waves: Our message reached more people than ever, thanks to some incredible media buzz (did you see us on North West Tonight?!)
Giving Back: From free skate lessons in Manchester to funding skateparks in Blackpool, we’ve made a real difference in local communities.
None of this would’ve been possible without YOU
the skaters, the riders, the volunteers, donors, and supporters who make Ralph’s legacy shine.
Thank you for believing in what we do!
What’s Coming in 2025?
Bigger. Better. Bolder.
We’re dreaming big for 2025, and we can’t wait to share the ride with you.
1. More Funding for More Impact
We’re giving out even more grants to skateboarding and creative arts projects.
First up? £2,500 to Sarcoidosis UK to raise awareness about this important cause.
2. Tour de Ralph: The Best Yet
We’re aiming high: 70 riders, bigger fundraising goals, and a new one-day cycling event for even more fun.
3. Ralphfest 2025
Day 1 = epic fun with local children’s charities (yes, wrestling is back!).
Day 2 = the ultimate skateboarding event with sponsorship opportunities galore.
4. Building Stronger Connections
From Vans to Skateboard GB, we’re growing our network to make Ralph’s mission even stronger.
5. Staying Honest and Transparent
Every penny we raise goes straight to the projects we support—because that’s how Ralph would’ve wanted it.
No salaries here, just good people doing great things.
Why We’re Excited
2025 is about creating more opportunities, helping more communities, and keeping Ralph’s incredible spirit alive.
We’re kicking off the new year with a group meeting and a Tour de Ralph launch event in February, so stay tuned for details.
Until then, have a wonderful Christmas, and Live Like Ralph
with kindness, creativity, and a sense of adventure.
Love,
The Live Like Ralph Team
