Join us on our journey in honoring her legacy and helping raise much needed funds for our chosen charities.
Mandy Lewis, a loving mum, wife, sister, daughter, aunty, friend and one of life’s truest angels suffered a cardiac arrest whilst doing something she loved. As a family, our lives came crashing down and in the days following, sat by her hospital bed we prayed that a miracle would happen but sadly on the 27th of May she left us peacefully, surrounded by her family.
We were told that her sudden death was unexplained, despite her being fit and healthy with no signs or symptoms and no findings from the post mortem. We were informed that Mandy passed away from SADS (Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome) something that affects approximately 500 people each year in the UK alone.
We are planning multiple extreme challenges
including, parachute jumps, high wire walks,
Kilimanjaro and even climbing to the base camp of
Everest, to raise money for the amazing British
Heart Foundation for further research into SADS.
We will also be donating some of the funds raised to
the Down’s Syndrome Association - a charity that is
close to our hearts and one which Mandy passionately
supported each and every year, to ensure children
born with Down’s Syndrome can live a fulfilled life
without obstacles. She dedicated much of her time to
her gorgeous son Harry, who is a wonderful example
of how someone living with Down’s Syndrome can live
a truly amazing life.
Mark, Mandy's brother-in-law - will be taking on a 24hr gruelling 150 mile challenge - cycling from the Seascale in the Lake District and finishing by the sea in Whitby.
The group will be taking on the classic 24-mile circular walk which takes in the Three Peaks - Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside - all within a 24 hr period.
We took part in the 2023 race and managed to raise over £750. This year we are planning on participating again and hopefully raising even more money.
We are planning an indoor skydive soon in preparation for some proper outdoor skydiving later in the year.
Barnfield Construction will be holding a dress down day to raise money. We can't wait!
Our next big expedition will take us up to the summit of Mont Blanc. Traning for this has already commenced!
