Sponsored Bike Ride supporting Sophies Journey
Donation protected
Just five lads who want to help...
Bailey, Luke, Joe, Owen & Arthur are five, year 9, Stubbington based boys who have decided to try and raise some money to support a young local girl, Sophie, who has recently been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer (please see her story below).
They have decided to set the challenge of cycling 1000 miles between them in one month. (starting 17th October).
Please consider sponsoring them.... every penny will count and help finacially support Sophie and her family in this incredibly difficult time.

Sophie's Story
Sophie has just turned 9 and was extremely excited about going back to school after COVID19 prevented her from seeing her friends for 6 months.
Sophie has been suffering from tummy pains in the past 6 months but Doctors kept thinking she had IBS or food intolerance. On Friday (4 September) things took a turn for the worse and she was taken to A&E and this is where the journey begins.
Sophies family were informed Sophie had a lump that needed to be removed and the operation was arranged for Thursday (10th September). The operation took 7 hours and the consultant had the awful job of telling Sophies Mum that when he operated they found a very different tumour to what it looked like on the MRI. It wasn't stuck to the ovaries at all as expected and they all remaind in tact. What he did find was a tumour that had become stuck to parts of Sophie that couldn't be removed.
He did manage to remove 95% of it but the parts left he couldn't remove without doing long term damage. He explained that it now looked extremely likely this was a very rare soft tissue cancer. The family needed to wait until the biopsy came back with confirmation and the grading etc to determine the treatment plan but this was going to be a tougher cancer to fight than the one he originally thought it would be.
Sophie has now begun her chemotherapy, so let's support her whilst she kicks Cancers butt.
Sophies story is constantly evolving and you can follow her journey on her Facebook page.
