On 10th September this year 8 adventurous pals are taking on the Race the Sun triathlon challenge in aid of Action Medical Research. This organisation is 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.

In two teams of 4 we are taking part in this extremely tough dawn to dusk event in the Lakes where each of us will cycle 40 miles around the imposing Skiddaw mountain , canoe 2-mile course on Derwent Water and finally summit Skiddaw on an 11 mile round trip to an altitude of 931m to raise money for this incredible cause. With your help, we're determined to make a real difference to children's lives.

If you can support us with a donation of any size we would be extremely grateful. Thank you for helping us to help others.
