Story

In July next year, I as part of a 4 person team will be taking part in the event called "Race the sun, Lake District off road" This event is a Bike, Trek and Canoe event clearly trying to beat the time the sun goes down. The team is raising funds for Action Medical Research. This is a UK-wide charity funding vital research to help sick and disabled babies and children. They fight for answers that can lead to cures, treatments and medical breakthroughs for some of the toughest fights our children face.

The amount i am trying to raise is £2000 and I'm starting this as early as I can. If you could donate that would be amazing and if you could please share this that will also be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance 👍
