Message from The Children's Trust

So sorry I can't be there to set you off but I would like to wish you all well on your amazing trip across the Pyrenees. I think you have all been absolutely fantastic! I'm so proud of the way you have organised this trip and the professional way you have gone about raising sponsorship for The Children's Trust. It's a truly fantastic sum of money and will be a huge bonus for our new build here at Tadworth.
Every year 1 in 5 children under 16 years old will sustain a traumatic brain injury following an accident or sudden illness. With you help our new centre will be a wonderful purpose designed environment where these brave children, from all over the UK, can come to receive round the clock medical care, and still enjoy space to play and be with their families.
The Children's Trust enables children with the most complex needs to live life to the full. Just think of that when you are struggling up the mountains and I'm sure it will help you get to the top! And when you get to the top and look at the fantastic view remember that's how our children feel when they speak their first words or take their first steps following their accident.
Thank you so much for everythinng you have done so far. Good luck with the ride - I know you can do it! I can't wait to hear all about it so keep on blogging and hopefully I'll see you on your return to the UK.
All the best (and don't forget the Vaseline!).
Lisa and all the staff, children and their families at The Children's Trust.
