Story

🌟 Introducing Team "Two Flat Whites and a Large Piece of Cake"! 🌟

Hey there, lovely supporters!

Get ready to join us on an epic adventure as we take on the Race the Sun challenge in the stunning Lake District Keswick this September! 🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️🚣‍♀️

We're Siân and Vicky, two unstoppable mums with a passion for pedaling and a love for laughter! Our journey began back in 2022 when we hopped on our bikes to raise funds for the Northampton Hope Centre. Now, fueled by caffeine and cake (our secret weapons!), we're teaming up once again to support the incredible work of Action Medical Research.

With our fair share of bumps, bruises, and hilarious mishaps along the way, we're determined to race against the sun and make every moment count! Sure, we may have our injuries, but together, we're a force to be reckoned with – pushing each other to new heights and sharing endless giggles along the way.

Why are we taking on this challenge? 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.

So, whether you're a fellow coffee enthusiast, a cake connoisseur, or just someone who loves a good laugh, we invite you to join us on this unforgettable journey. Every donation, big or small, will help us make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Let's race against the sun, spread some sunshine, and make miracles happen together! Thank you for your incredible support – let's do this!

With love, laughter, and endless gratitude,

Siân and Vicky - Team "Two Flat Whites and a Large Piece of Cake" ☕️ 🍰 ☕️
