Story

Dear Family and friends,

As many of you know, we have lost a lot of people we love over the past years.

Mummy's Mum, Grandma Noelle, Gran and Grandad Gill too. Also, our Dad died last year, and we never got to know him.

Last week, Theo broke his arm, it is in a cast, and he can’t do any of the things he loves. We even had to cancel our holiday. We’ve all been feeling fed up, but we had an idea to make the most of all the time we now have stuck at home!

A friend lent us a bike, and we wanted to do a cycle challenge to raise money for LOROS, a charity that has helped our family a lot over the past years.

In June, we are going to ride a static bike in our living room from John O'Groats, Scotland, to Lands' End, at the bottom of England!

It is 874 miles in total, 1406 KM, travelling by road, but using National Cycle Network routes, the distance is 1189 miles (1913km).

We are going to take 1 month to complete the challenge as a family effort, possibly with the help of a few friends stepping in to support for a few kilometres because Theo can't do the total amount with one arm. So if anyone wants to come and give us a hand, you would be welcome to give our new bike a go!

Please sponsor us if you can. Even £1 would help the good cause. We are aiming to raise £500. But thanks to so many generous people we are hoping to raise much more!

If it’s not possible to sponsor us this time, we understand—but please wish us luck!

Love from Milly and Theo xx

Update on fundraising.

Since begining Milly and Theo have been given some cash donations too. We will be giving these to Grief Encounter. They are an amazing organisation that support children when a parent dies.
