Young Charity Ambassadors Challenge

Young Charity Ambassadors Set for 175-Mile Football-to-Football Cycling Challenge

Two young fundraisers from the Bradley Lowery Foundation are preparing to embark on their biggest challenge yet as they cycle 175 miles across the North of England in support of the charity.

Jack and Isaac, both aged 12 and proud ambassadors for the Bradley Lowery Foundation, will set off from Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium on 25 July before completing a five-day journey to Sunderland AFC's Stadium of Light.

The determined duo have already raised more than £40,000 over the past four years through a series of fundraising efforts. Now, they are hoping to add to that remarkable total with their latest cycling challenge, which will see them visit five football grounds in five days.

Their route begins at Old Trafford before taking them to Huddersfield on day one. On day two, they will cycle to Leeds United's Elland Road, before continuing to Thirsk on day three. The fourth day will see them travel to Middlesbrough, with the final leg taking them to Sunderland's Stadium of Light on 29 July.

The challenge aims to raise vital funds and awareness for the Bradley Lowery Foundation, which supports children with life-limiting illnesses and complex medical needs.

Supporters are being encouraged to join Jack and Isaac for part of the journey, helping the pair cover the miles while raising money for a worthy cause.

A spokesperson for the foundation praised the youngsters' commitment, highlighting the incredible impact they have already made despite their young age.
