Story

I’ve signed up to the Insurance industry ride for Action Medical Research in July which Verisk is sponsoring. Little did I know when signing up that the route was 4 days in the Swiss Jura mountains with more climbing and distance that I have ever done in a day. Last year it was just London to Amsterdam via Essex i.e Flat! It’s certainly kicked me to in gear with a training plan and a massive number of miles needed to be done in preparation for this – your sponsorship would be a great motivator and help change children's lives.

Action Medical Research are the leading UK charity dedicated to funding vital research to help sick and disabled babies, children and young people. Action have been funding medical breakthroughs for 70 years now and have helped to beat polio, fight meningitis, prevent stillbirths and develop ultrasound scanning in pregnancy. They are now driving forward children's research, including in the fight against rare diseases.

Raptör, the multi-day ride for the Insurance Industry, is back for a fifth year that will see riders cycling in the scenic but challenging Swiss Jura mountains to raise for this incredible charity.By donating, you are helping to find ways to reduce premature birth, to support children facing a lifetime of challenges caused by disabilities, and to develop cutting-edge therapies for rare and incurable diseases. With your help we're determined to make a real change to children's lives.
