Story

We are thrilled to announce our participation in the upcoming Race the Sun event for Action Medical Research on 29th June, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Jurassic Coast. This is not just a race; it's an extraordinary team challenge that will push our limits and make a real impact.

Picture this: Two teams of four will be taking part in this extremely tough dawn to dusk event to cycle 39 miles through Dorset , navigate a 2-mile canoe course in Studland Bay, and finally hike 9 mile along the coastline of Jurassic Coast and up to Swyre Head.

Why are we putting ourselves through this thrilling ordeal? Simple – we're racing for a cause close to our hearts. Action Medical Research tirelessly works towards saving and changing the lives of babies and children. By supporting us, you're not just cheering for a team; you're contributing to a brighter and healthier future for the little ones.

Who’s taking part in the challenge: Connor Jones, Megan Hardway, Steve Swinburne, Simon Bell, Michelle Cole, Lauren McCann, Robin Ditchburn and Priya Voralia!

Join us on this exhilarating journey by donating to our JustGiving page. Your generosity will make each uphill pedal, every challenging step, and the rhythmic strokes of our paddles worth it. Together, let's make a difference and bring a ray of sunshine into the lives of those who need it the most.
