Off We Go for #TeamAction! Together, we pedal for action, for change, and for life!

Get ready as we pedal for a purpose! We’re thrilled to share our adventure as we embark on the tough, but exhilarating journey of the Pedal to Paris event. This remarkable charity bike ride, will see us cycling an incredible 300 miles from bustling London to the charming streets of Paris over four unforgettable days, starting on the 23rd July. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime fundraising challenge that we wouldn't want to miss, especially doing it for a cause meaningful to us all.

Now, let's introduce our fabulous team who are getting ready to hit the road! Meet Margaret, our focused and driven superstar. We simply wouldn't know where we’d be without her, as her planning skills are second to none!

Then, there's Paul, our incredibly brave member, who, despite his severe visual impairment, is raring to go. Paul faces the most challenges out of us all with his disability, but he's ready to take on this great feat. He will be brilliantly guided by the laidback legend, Gary, who ensures that Paul is able to take part in as many events as possible through his unwavering support, without which, Paul would not be able to do. What an inspiring duo these two make!

A slight change to the team here, as due to unforeseen circumstances, Paul has had to step back on this one, but he still remains part of our team spirit. The non-stop, super Sue has stepped right in to pedal those miles away with us all. Such resilience in this lady!

Then there's our Sally, our calm and nurturing spirit, who ensures that all of us stay grounded as we work through our training. We can't forget Jimmy, our unstoppable machine, who’s always asking about food stops—priorities, right?

Next up is Carla, our positive force, who keeps us all on track with her hard work and relentless spirit. Let's not overlook Scott, our bundle of joy, whose enthusiasm can be a bit wild at times, but hey, he keeps us laughing with his random outbursts!

Last but not least, we have Hayley, who is always chipping away and determined, doing her utmost to keep up with the rest of us!

Every single penny we raise on this journey will contribute to life-changing research aimed at helping sick and vulnerable children across the UK.

Action Medical Research, have been at the forefront of medical breakthroughs for over 70 years, achieving milestones like beating polio, combating meningitis, preventing stillbirths, and even pioneering ultrasound scanning during pregnancy. All of these efforts have saved countless lives and transformed the futures of many more. Today, their mission continues as they fight against the challenges presented by disease and disability, funding high-quality research to bring hope and change to children’s lives.

We want to help continue this amazing work through our fundraising. So, join us on this incredible journey—to change lives, create memories, and make a real difference for children across the UK.

Together, we pedal for action, for change, and for life!
