We are so so proud to be one of the sponsors supporting Kevin's Marmotte Challenge! 🚵‍♂️

Co-founder and trustee of the Ella Dawson Foundation, Dawson, takes on La Marmotte Gran Fondo Alpes on 28th June, 174km through the French Alps, 5,000 metres of climbing, just days before the fifth anniversary of losing his daughter, Ella.

Over the years we have watched this local charity help and support so many young adults with cancer, from well-being support, counselling and events.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you can donate click the link below - every £1 helps 🙏

A huge thank you to the incredible sponsors supporting Kevin's Marmotte Challenge!

Our co-founder and trustee, Dawson, takes on La Marmotte Gran Fondo Alpes on 28th June, 174km through the French Alps, 5,000 metres of climbing, just days before the fifth anniversary of losing his daughter, Ella.

None of this would be possible without the generosity of our amazing corporate sponsors:

Walkersteel Engineering Services LTD | STEELCO (UK) LIMITED | Colne Valley Self Storage | Valli Opticians| HALL & PICKLES | Langfield Welding Supplies | Northern Precision Fasteners. | Premiersteel

Their support, alongside Kevin's family and friends, has already helped raise over half of his £5,181 target 🙌 .

Every pound funds free, life-changing support for young adults living with and beyond cancer. If you would like to support Kevin, please consider donating to "The Hardest Ride of My Life" - For Ella.

“Five years on, not a day goes by without thinking of Ella, and everything I do on this ride is for her, and for the young people we support every single day in the charity. Ella always believed that not all is lost when you have been diagnosed with cancer, and I am so proud that her legacy lives on in every person we help. I know the Marmotte will be hard, but raising awareness and funds to continue to provide life-changing support to young adults going through and beyond cancer means every mile climbed is a mile climbed for Ella, and for every young person who needs us. I would like to say a huge thank you for the incredible support and generosity of my sponsors, family and friends.” Kevin.
