Family Fund is the UK’s largest charity providing grants for families raising disabled or seriously ill children and young people. Every day, families tell us how this support has a huge impact on their lives, but we want to make an even bigger difference to even more families. Last year, we provided over 150,000 grants or services across the UK.

Inspire Europe have provided support for Family Fund since August 2013 , and this year an intrepid team of 11 cyclists put together by Inspire are setting off on May 19th 2023 from Whitby and cycling via York back to Bramhall in Cheshire in one day , a distance of just over 127 miles with total elevation climbing of 8155 feet. 

The team are Danny Schweiger , Mark Schweiger, Andy Bourne, Alan Hodari, Lorna Crawford, Nick Groombridge, Ricky Nelson, Sam Marland , Toby Williams, Michael Ozon and Richard Buxton,  ably supported on the day by the best bike man in the North West, Martin Girdwood. Please check the gallery to see a collage of the team - they might not look so happy towards the end of the ride !
