I have decided to take on the Fred Whitton challenge in 2022, and felt I should aim to raise some money for some of the many great charities the event supports. 

I expect this to be quite the challenge so any support you can lend will be greatly appreciated! 

For those unfamiliar with the event full details of the event are given at the link below but it involves riding for 113 miles over some of the toughest climbs in the Lake District, and is thought to be one of the toughest sportives in the UK.

The Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) rescues hundreds of severely injured or ill patients every year throughout the North East, North Yorkshire and Cumbria. Their doctor-led critical care teams deliver life-saving treatments at the scene of the incident whether that is on a fell top, a roadside or in a city centre. The charity responded to 1,640 call outs last year* alone, via their helicopter and emergency response vehicles, where they performed treatments and procedures which can mean the difference between life or death.
