Story

We are part of a team taking on Race the Sun Lake District Keswick for children's charity Action Medical Research.

On September 7th we will be setting off at sunrise to bike, hike and paddle around a challenging course in a race against the sun. Our Team being Mike Hart, Ste Hoy, Chris McElwee, Joe Carter, Craig Sanders and Ian Buxton. We have been up at Sunrise all summer, cycling to work and running up hills in Old Swan to get ourselves ready for this amazing event.

We are all racing, climbing and Kayaking in aid of children's charity, Action Medical Research. They have spent over 70 years funding vital research to help defeat the diseases that devastate the lives of sick and disabled babies, children, and young people.

By supporting our team you will be 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.

Thank you so much for your support.
