I'm taking part in the Fred Whitton Challenge on Sunday 7 May 2023 to raise funds for the Great North Air Ambulance Service. The Fred Whitton Challenge consists of a 112-mile sportive around the Lake District, starting at Grasmere and taking in climbs of Kirkstone, Honister, Newlands, Whinlatter, Hardknott, Wrynose and Blea Tarn passes.

The Great North Air Ambulance Service 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 treatment at the scene of the incident, whether that is on a fell top, a roadside or in a city centre.
