Story

We are 4 siblings who have set each other a challenge in 2023.  

It is not often we all manage to be in one place, since we live in different countries, so we thought this would be a great opportunity to be together and push ourselves for a good cause. It also takes us back to a place where we spent a lot of our childhood with our grandmother. 

I am sure there will be a few aches & pains after the event ....but it will be worth it in so many ways!

As a team of four we are taking part in this extremely tough dawn to dusk event.... At sunrise, we set off in the saddle from the event base in Keswick for a 65 km bike ride around beautiful winding roads surrounding one of the highest mountains in the UK, Skiddaw. This is followed by a 3 km kayak on Derwent Water and finally climbing Skiddaw on an 17 km round trip to an altitude of almost 1000m.

Action Medical Research have organised this event and are the leading UK charity funding vital research to help defeat diseases that devastate the lives of sick and disabled babies, children and young people. 

We hope that you will help us to support children facing a lifetime of challenges caused by disabilities, and rare and incurable diseases.
