Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Wrote on behalf of Paul my partner who will be doing the ride.

I set this page up in memory of my son Harris who passed away on the 8th of October 2021, and also to raise money for the cardiac unit at Alder Hey children's hospital.

Harris was always happy and had a smile on his face everyday. Before he was born we found out he had a complete AVSD, pulmonary vein stenosis, small PDA and secundum ASD. His illness sadly claimed his life in October last year just less than 3 weeks after his 1st birthday.

We are cycling from John O Groats to Lands End starting the 27th march over roughly 2 weeks to raise money for Alder Hey children's hospitals cardiac unit. The journey will be roughly 1000miles, camping of a night and riding through the day.

Because of Harris' illnesses he was always out of breath and tired, but he was still always smiling, so I will finish the 1000miles with a smile on my face and I won't give up no matter what because he never did.
