• The Chester Challenge 2010

    The Chester Challenge is an annual cycling event held to raise money to help fund research and support the families of children affected by Dravet Syndrome – a rare form of epilepsy. Our aim is to help the many children in the UK who are suffering with this progressive neurological disorder.

    Harley's StoryThe Challenge will take place on Sunday 29th August 2010, starting and finishing in the beautiful city of Chester and taking in some of the area’s most spectacular scenery.

    There will be a choice of 4 routes through rural country lanes – 12.5 miles, 25 Miles, 60 miles and 80 miles (for the super fit!)

    There will be refreshments and goody bags for all those taking part and all proceeds will go to the the IDEA League UK, a volunteer-based nonprofit organization, founded by parents of children with Dravet Syndrome to promote research and education for the early diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and cure of  Dravet Syndrome and related genetic, febrile, sodium channel epilepsies.

    The challenge will bring together those who enjoy recreational cycling to raise much needed funds for this little known, but very deserving cause.

    The event is now open for entries.
