Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

A team of 6 people including Jess’s dad Ste, will take on a challenging 230 mile bike ride “Just for Jess” Starting in St Helens on Thursday 27th August, they will make their way in stages to Edinburgh finishing on Sunday 30th August.

Ste will be supported, encouraged, dragged by the amazing, crazy gang Andrew Brown, Paul Donoghue, Gary Sanderson, Graeme McCall & Gary Welsby supported by John Atherton in the fun bus. If this doesn’t test their friendship nothing will.

Edinburgh played an important part in Jessica’s life, she gained her prestigious qualification of Chartered Accountant at Chiene and Tait and had created her own little Scottish home surrounded by great friends. But she was a St Helens girl at heart so it seems a fitting tribute to link the two places.

Jessica was a special girl, you certainly knew when she entered a room, she liked to have and give an opinion but boy was she full of life, love and laughter. Seeing her dad on a bike would crack her up.. you can just hear her saying “Are you havin’ a laugh Dad”

Any donation, small or large will be greatly appreciated.. 

Let’s make Jessica proud 🥰

Thank you

Love and best wishes

Ste & Maria
