Charity
Sparks is the children’s medical research charity. Our sole remit is to fund research across the whole spectrum of paediatric medicine. Our goal is for ALL babies to be born healthy and stay healthy. Every day 70 babies are born in the UK with a life-threatening condition or an illness that will affect them and their families for life. Sparks aims to reduce this statistic so all children have the chance of a healthy future.
Please note Virgin Money Giving isn't responsible for the content fundraisers post on their pages, but if you see something you feel is offensive or inappropriate, please let us know and we'll look into it.
TEAM APS - Actively Pedalling for Sparks
March saw the start of preparations for the 2011 APS Xtreme Coast-to-Coast Cycle Challenge, as our team of 11 cyclists began training for the 500-mile ride from Land’s End to Lowestoft in September 2011.

The challenge, which will take place from 17th-24th September, will raise much-needed donations for the charity Sparks, which funds high quality medical research that is intended to have a practical and positive effect on the lives of children. Sparks was founded by professional sports-people who were grateful for their own good health and who wanted to help those who are less fortunate.
