Philippa Curphey

Co-founder of girls ALIVE; inclusive cycling advocate

When she took up road cycling in 2017, Philippa was shocked at the lack of women in the sport. To help redress this, along with friend Eleanor Lestrange, she set up girls ALIVE. This charitable organisation encourages women to get active in a non-competitive and supportive environment. She works for nationwide inclusive cycling charity Wheels For All, providing adaptive cycles to those who need them.

“I feel extremely lucky and privileged to be working with such a diverse community of cyclists who are breaking down barriers and playing their part in changing the future of cycling.”
