Hi all.  Leeds Met Badminton team are coming together to do something special for a very special charity that has recently come close to all of our hearts!!!

Alex Marritt, an asset to our team and a good friend to all who know him, was recently diagnosed with testicular cancer resulting in the team wanting to show their support for Alex and the charity, through this bike ride. The news has rocked the entire team and on behalf of everybody, we offer him all the support he needs to win his fight and have a speedy recovery!

Also, recently the story of Ian and Andy Woolways mum, Sue, recently beating breast cancer for the second time, later to develop skin cancer and also come through that. The support has been tremendous throughout and once again, to show our support for this heartfelt cause, this challenge is being accepted by all!

The plan is to cycle the Leeds - Liverpool canal route which is 127.4 miles long. With the total journey being 254.8 miles. Our mission is to complete this journey in just 2 days, with a night of rest in a warm hotel in Liverpool.
