Embo campaign - part two

A new chapter - Our next challenge is to ride from Chatham to Gibraltar from 02-12 June 2009 for Emily Rose Loughrey.

In June 2007 we lost our beautiful daughter Emily Rose to a wild form of cancer. Emily was just 22 years of age when she passd away. In such a short life she had achieved more than most in a full life. Emily always had a smile and always helped others when she could. Emily made friends everywhere she worked and everywhere she went. It has been these friends who helped us to raise £56000 for CLIC Sargent during our last campaign. To see how we managed to raise the money please have a look at our blog.


Last year our flagship event was the Lands End to John O Groats Bike Ride EMBO LEJOG.

This year Russ Oldfield and I are going to bike ride from Chatham to Gibraltar.
We will be setting off on our marathon journey on 02 June 2009 (what would have been Emilys 24th birthday) and arriving in Gibraltar on 12 June 09 (the 2nd anniversary of her passing away) The bike ride will be a gruelling 150 miles a day through mainland Europe which takes in the Pyrenees on route to Gibraltar.

As a family we will be forever in debt to Emily Rose for giving us 22 years of treasured moments, they were quality years. The debt also runs to the staff of Kennaway Ward at the Royal Marsden Sutton and the CLIC Sargent team for the support they gave and continue to give to us the Loughrey Family. CLIC Sargent provides outstanding care and support for all children and young people up to the age of 25 with cancer. CLIC also provides support for their families and carers.

Thank You for helping us make a difference

Sponsor Jess, Sascha & Ruth

To help support the bike ride and make more money for the fantastic CLIC Sargent we wanted to add another fundraising event! Sascha Fowler came up with the brilliant idea of jumping out of a plane and Jess drunkenly thought it would be a good idea (She is now petrified) Ruth Smith is just amazing if a little bit crazy and helped convince Jess to do it.

Our tandem sky dives are all booked up! We will be free falling 12,000ft on Saturday 30th May 2009 the weekend before Emily's 24th birthday, what a brilliant birthday present! By this date we want to raise £1185 hopefully more so we can add to the Embo CLIC Sargent total.

PLEASE HELP US ACHIEVE IT Thanks x x x x x
