Story
We are taking on this challenge to cycle 100miles each on the 5th June 2021 in memory of a beautiful little girl called Phoebe Egerton. She was born with Group B Streptococcus and at only 2 days old she suffered unimaginable and irreversible brain damage. She battled everyday of her life, but sadly was taken from her family less than 2 years later.
Phoebe's story isn't an isolated one and many other families face this horrendous and heartbreaking situation, yet most group B Strep infections are preventable.
On average in the UK, at least-two babies a day develop a group B Strep infection - one baby a week dies from their GBS infection, and-one baby a week survives with long-term disabilities – physical, mental or both
More has to be done to raise awareness of GBS and that is why the donations raised are all going to the Group B Strep Support charity which informs families & health professionals about group B Strep to save tiny lives.
