MICA Travels are a group of family and friends that are dedicated to raise awareness of Bile duct cancer and sepsis, two illnesses that claim 1000’s of lives each year and are barely known about. I lost my wife; our sons lost their mother and many others lost a dear friend. We as group will be doing a series of endurance activities to raise money for these charities as a lasting memorial to Carol, so that our sudden loss is not in vain.

With that we managed to push ourselves to being in double digits, 97 Miles to go!

With 2 days left of the challenge there is still work to do, but at least we are now looking at the finishing straight, the end is in sight and fixed firmly in our sights.
