Story


“Jenny and Maria known as the  ninja nannies!! both have very young grandchildren and know how lucky we are to have them, I  know first hand how scary it is when a baby is born premature or when illnesses can affect children. Action medical research do such amazing work to find cures for debilitating diseases for children and adults and help children born with serious condition live the best life they can. We are taking part in a fantastic challenge to raise awareness and money for this charity. all of us will know someone, who has benefited from the great work they do.

For us, we will enjoy the beautiful views in Lake District while we complete our “Race against the Sun” to raise money by
Cycling 40 miles, then kayaking 2 miles on the Derwent, before finishing with an 11 mile hike to summit Skiddaw.. the plan is to complete before sunset.

Please help us by donating, any amount, no matter how small will be gratefully received”
