Here’s a story worth sharing. Tom Brading, 23, is going to be pedaling across the UK to raise money for the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation. He hopes to raise £3,000 for the charity, which affects his 22 year old girlfriend, Cozette. She underwent a life-saving transplant when she was two and was supported through it by the charity.
As Tom explained: ‘I know that the charity provided invaluable support to Cozette and her family at a really difficult time. ‘Without the fundraising and support which they gave, things could have gone very differently. ‘I am so lucky to have met her and this might not have been possible if it wasn’t for the work that Children’s Liver Disease Foundation do.’
Now, Tom and two of his friends will be cycling 900 miles in 14 days. As Chief executive of Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, Alison Taylor, said: ‘We rely almost entirely on voluntary donations, so we are delighted to hear about Tom’s cycling challenge. ‘He has set himself a tough target, both in terms of the physical effort and his fundraising, and we wish him all the best. ‘I’ve no doubt it will be a memorable experience and the funds he raises will enable us to continue to make a real difference.’
