Dr Dawn Harper from hit Channel 4 TV show Embarrassing Bodies will swap swabs for the saddle this May when she joins cyclists for a new women’s bike ride to raise money for children’s charity Action Medical Research.
The DIVA100 Warwickshire ride will set out from Menzies Welcombe Hotel Spa and Golf Club in Stratford-upon-Avon on Sunday 27 May. Supported by leading bike brand Trek, the event will offer a choice of two circular countryside routes – a 100km challenge or a shorter 50km course for those looking to take it a little bit easier.
The ride will raise money to help fund medical research into conditions affecting babies and children. Especially close to Dr Dawn’s heart is the work the charity supports around pregnancy complications and premature birth as two of her three children were born early, her youngest son at just 32 weeks. Action Medical Research is also currently supporting work around meningitis, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, premature birth and some very rare conditions that severely affect children.
