I was so pleased to be at the finish line on Sunday 21st April to say huge congratulations to Simon Lambert! Simon cycled a whopping 480 miles from Leith to Leigh to raise much-needed funds for multiple charities.
Simon did the ride in memory of his son Archie who passed away aged just 5 after battling DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma), an aggressive type of childhood cancer that forms in the brainstem.
I was very moved when Simon said that he knew that Archie was ‘with him all the way, especially helping with his wind Pokemon’.
Losing a child is something no parent should have to go through. Simon has done something really fantastic and brave here and I was so glad to be there to help welcome him home.
The charities who will benefit from Simon's fundraising are: Little Havens, Gold Geese,Young Lives Vs Cancer,The Unbeatable Eva Foundation, Make-A-Wish Foundation UK, Thumbsupforcharlie, THHN (Torbay Holiday Helpers Network) and Abbie's Army.
If you’d like to donate to Simon’s cause which will help charities who were there for him when Archie became ill, here is the link:
