Story
Four humans. One sunrise-to-sunset deadline. Absolutely no chill.
Shelly, Jo, Tory and Kirsty are throwing all common sense out the window and taking on Race The Sun — a wild endurance mash-up that involves cycling through Cheddar Gorge, hiking 9 miles, and then canoeing to the finish… because apparently running out of energy once just isn’t enough.
There will be burning legs, jelly arms, questionable navigation, dramatic snacks, and at least one moment where we ask, “Whose idea was this?” But we’re doing it for an incredible cause, and that’s what will keep us moving when our bodies want to stop.
If you’d like to sponsor our madness, cheer us on from the comfort of your sofa, and help turn chaos into something truly positive, we’d be hugely grateful. Every donation helps us race the sun — and maybe survive it. 🌞🚴♀️🥾🛶
Action Medical Research is the leading UK-wide charity saving and changing children’s lives through medical research. For over 70 years we’ve helped pioneer ways to prevent disease and develop treatments benefiting millions of people. Our research has helped to beat polio in the UK, develop ultrasound, fight meningitis and prevent stillbirths. But we urgently need to develop more new treatments and cures for sick babies and children and we can’t do it without you.
Join our fight for little lives.
