Story

UPDATE:

Having had training for this challenge a little disrupted, it has been decided to again delay the challenge a couple of months.  We will now be doing it on 10th July 2021, 16 years to the day that my mum sadly passed away.

Having completed the Yorkshire 3 Peaks just over 5 years ago to celebrate 10 years since the devastating passing of a wonderful lady I had the honour of calling my mum. We feel we have to up our game so now to celebrate, on 10th April 2021 we are  taking on the challenge of cycling the 127 miles of the Leeds Liverpool canal in a day! We will be raising much needed funds for 3 charities.  Marie Curie, during her last week's, Marie Curie were unbelievable in not only the care they provided to my mum, but also the comfort and support they provided to my family and I.  Secondly Cancer Research for the continued work they carry out to try ensure people don't hose to go through the devastation we faced, and finally The Swimathon Foundation, having worked as the swimming development manager for Bradford we feel it a nice gesture to help continue her hard work in helping to make swimming accessible to everyone. Thank you in advance for any donations and apologies for the constant spamming of this link! Much Love 💜💜
