In May 2022, Sam and Rosie are undertaking a 1000 mile cycle marathon over 10 days covering the length of the UK. This is an enormous challenge and we're more than a little scared! 

We're embarking on this epic journey in memory of our incredible parents, who we lost at relatively young ages only 3 ½ years apart in 2016 and 2020 from rare diseases. Our dad, David, completed this challenge himself 30 years ago and so we want to retrace his steps. We know his spirit will be with us along the way. 

We've chosen to fundraise for Cruse Bereavement Support, because our experience of coping and living with grief has been the most painful and heart-wrenching period of our lives. We know many have lost loved ones over the past few years and will continue to do so. For anyone suffering from the anguish of being without their loved ones, we want them to know there is support available. Ellie, Sam, and Rosie have all used Cruse and other counselling services to help process the shattering loss.   

Thank you so much for getting behind us on this challenge and for your generosity, it really means so much to us!

UPDATE :  Because of the immense support and sponsorship we have received from nearly 100 people so far we have increased our fundraising target from £5,000 to £10,000.

UPDATE TWO : Wow, thank you again! We've unbelievably reached our £10,000 target. We're riding the epic route in a week's time so for one last push we've put our target up to £12,500! Cruse are over the moon. 

UPDATE THREE : Wooooooo! We're now going for £15,000 for Cruse because of all your incredible support. We're on the way to Lands End now and can't wait to smash this out and do you guys proud.
