If you think you can beat Amber Neben to the summit of Cap de Formentor, Stelvio Pass or Mont Ventoux, now is your chance to find out. The former world champion has partnered with the virtual platform RGT Cycling to create The 3 Summit Challenge from April 24-26 that will help raise funds for No Kid Hungry during the coronavirus pandemic.

"In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, I know we are all watching and wishing we could do something tangible to help on a bigger level. With schools closed nationwide, millions of children have lost the school meals they depend on. Join our challenge and help raise funds for needy kids," read a statement on the event website.
