Story
In September 2024, we will be taking on the London to Paris cycle challenge to raise money for Lia's Wings, where we will be starting off in Trafalgar square and then make our way 200 miles through England and France to get to our final destination the Eiffel Tower, Paris! I am taking part in this challenge with the target to collect £1,950.
To find out more about Lia's Wings please read below:
Lia’s Wings is a national charity that provides hospital air transfers for children. We ensure that babies and critically ill children can access specialist treatment and care, wherever they are in the UK.
Since its inception in 2010, the charity has established a strong reputation for flying babies and children to hospitals in the UK and, increasingly, from abroad. They work in partnership with air ambulance providers and NHS transport teams throughout the UK to provide this vital bed-to-bed service, using aeroplanes. Lia's Wings provide funding, state-of-the-art medical equipment and training for medical staff, to ensure transformational outcomes for children and their families. They are proud that as a result of their air transfers children have been discharged from long hospital stays, overcome diseases like cancer, and received a diagnosis which finally enables their family to gain new support from disease/ disability specific organisations.
Alongside air transfers, Lia's Wings provides holistic care for the whole family to ensure improved outcomes for both the child and their support network. Each family referred to Lia's Wings receives bespoke support that caters for the individual needs of their child and their family's circumstances. Their support continues for as long as each family needs us.
