Story

Hi there,

And thank you for visiting the latest justgiving page of the Veronica Claxton memorial fund which I set up in 2009 in memory of my mum. We are a fundraising group who work closely alongside Young Lives Vs Cancer and since we began we have managed to raise over £430,000 for them and half a million pounds in total.

Every year we embark on a long distance cycle and this years takes us from home across England into North Wales before crossing over to Dublin and cycling down to Cork. This years tour is named Abi’s tour in memory of Abi Quinlisk the niece of one of our riders Paul Jenner, Abi sadly passed away aged 18 from an acute Leukaemia whilst we was away biking to Spain in 2024.

The ride will take us from her home town in England to the roots of her dads wider family and a place she loved to visit in Cork in Ireland.

Once again we have a great crew signed up with 16 cyclists and a crucial support crew and as always we self fund all the trips ourselves but as always a huge thank you to all our corporate helpers who enable us to keep the costs down as much as possible.

Please share amongst all your friends and family and only give if you can.

Thank you as always

Luke Claxton
