Story

As a Daddy to two young children I can only imagine the difficulty that some children and their families have to endure due to terrible illness. The work this charity does helps fund the research to defeating these illnesses, and for over 60 years has contributed to many cures we use today, and in the future

I have never attempted anything like this before but reading the stories on how this vital funding helps improve the health and well being of babies and children in the UK we felt we needed to participate in this event. Unfortunately age, no exercise for 10 years, a diet of too many English breakfasts and chippies has made this challenge even harder.... Any donation is a massive help to fund this brilliant charity

Thank you

Action Medical Research are the leading UK charity funding vital research to help defeat the diseases that devastate the lives of sick and disabled babies, children and young people. Teams of 4 are taking part in this extremely tough dawn to dusk event where they will cycle, hike and canoe to raise money for this incredible cause. With your help, were determined to make a real difference to children's lives.
