David Yearsley raises £10,000 through Four Nation's Cycle Challenge
David Yearsley (founder of NeST) is seen in this photo presenting Dr Moin Saleem with a cheque for £10,000 at the Children's Renal Unit at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children in September 2006. The money was raised through David taking part in 'The Four Nation's Cycle Challenge'.
David was one of a team of three who set off on 15th June 2005 from the Murray field Rugby Stadium in Edinburgh and cycled to Lansdown Road in Dublin, then on to the Milennum Stadium in Cardiff and finally ending their journey 10 days later at the home of English Rugby, Twickenham - a total of 600 miles.
This cycle challenge was done to help launch NeST and Jonah Lomu's comeback to rugby after his successful kidney transplant. It also highlights Jonah's involvement as an ambassador for NeST through being a sufferer himself.
Many thanks indeed to all the sponsors and individuals who supported this event and of course to David and the team who did so well in cycling such a great distance.
