The Association of Specialist Providers to Dentists (ASPD) is celebrating the 125th year of the Benevolent Fund with a huge, sponsored cycle ride covering the 125 km from Birmingham to Oxford on 1 July 2007– that's one kilometre a year.

The Benevolent Fund is a registered charity with a proud history of providing assistance for all registered UK dentists and their families in times of need, whether caused by illness, stress, accident or family breakdown. It relies on the continued support of the dental profession.
