My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit  'The Loopy Lads'  JustGiving page.

 In January this year my daughter, Maddie Wilkinson died from a very rare yet aggressive cancer, Burkitts Lymphoma.

Maddie was a happy, healthy, typically pink and fluffy 6 year old little girl, whose sudden death totally shocked us as a family and being a very popular member of St Wilfrid's Primary School, the whole community.

During Maddie's short illness (14 days) she received care from staff at Alder Hey hospital, this brought it home to us just how much an impact childhood cancer has in the UK.  This year alone 1 in 500 children will be diagnosed with cancer, and of these tragically 30%, including my daughter, will not survive.  This has a devastating effect on immediate and extended families across the country.

 In an effort to help improve this tragic statistic, myself, Tony Wilkinson, along with Gary, Mark, Mike, Ian, Nev, Jon and Paul, will be taking part in the 100 Mile Lancashire Loop Cycle Challenge on Sunday  27th September.

 Money raised will be donated to the children’s cancer charity KidsCan. A charity who are not only local to us, launched the same year Maddie was born but are the only cancer charity that specialize in children’s cancers and their treatments.

 Our challenge, for which we would like your support - and more importantly your money - is a 100 mile circular bike ride through rural Northern Lancashire, ascending 5000ft during the route (yes, we must be mad!). 

We hope that you can support us in this challenge and help us raise an amount of money that will make a difference to the young children suffering from the ill effects of cancer and give them and their families the future they deserve.

Just to let you know we're training hard and on Sunday 6th Sept, we successfully cycled to the top of The Cat and Fiddle, Peak District (69 miles), two thirds!!!! Would reccomend it, if only for the BLT at the top, YUM YUM.

Yes we all did it, late start, wrong turn, lost support vehicle, cramp, sore bottoms along with every once of blood, sweat and tears, we did it !!!!

A Huge, Big, Thank You to all who supported us and gave generously.

Thank You Again,

Tony Wilkinson & Team
