Sam & Andy are taking on the Coast To Coast cycle in August... A minimum 133 mile bike ride starting at Whitehaven on the West Coast & finishing on the East Coast at Sunderland. The trip will be over 3 days, stopping off at Penrith & Rookhope.

For this challenge we would like to raise some money for 'The Amyloidosis Research Fund' (https://amyloidosis.org/facts/).

Amyloidosis is a rare illness which took the life of Martin (Sam's Dad) back in November, after a difficult 18 month battle. This is Martin's charity of choice and donations will help towards much needed research, which will hopefully give others the chance of a longer life.

All donations will be much appreciated :-)

Further info;

Amyloidosis is a rare disease caused by damaging build up of abnormal protein fibres, called amyloid, within the tissues and organs. Amyloidosis can affect any part of the body and lead to life threatening organ failure. It causes the death of about one person in every thousand and there are about 6,000 cases in the UK at any time.The Amyloidosis Research Fund within the Royal Free Charity supports the research, development and patients of the UK NHS National Amyloidosis Centre (NAC) at the Royal Free Hospital. The Centre, established in 1999, is funded directly by NHS Specialised Services to provide diagnostic and management advisory services for all UK amyloidosis patients.
