Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

The challenge has been completed by Chris McLaren supported and coached along by my husband Dominic Cooney on the 64 mile cycle from Manchester United ground to Blackpool on Sunday 4th July.  I unfortunately was unable to take part due to the sudden death of my mum on 29th June.  However i did cycle the following Sunday on 50 mile ride from Wythenshaw Park to Chester so i didn't get away with taking part in our challenge.

We are still raising money for Children on the Edge.  Neither of us had done this before and was certainly challenging but worthwhile to help so many children.

£20 will keep one child in school for one year, so let's see how many we can help.

Our training has begun has now begun ready for next year!
