A Good News Story! £306,000 Raised! CONGRATULATIONS!

Huge congratulations to Philip Bigland and the team of 'Elijah's Star'.

The team has just completed the 'Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge' and rowed the Atlantic in 41 days, 2 hours, 50mins and 8 seconds (having left La Gomera, Canary Islands, on 12 December and arriving in Antigua, in the heart of the Caribbean, on 22 January).

Collectively they have raised £306,000insupport of Action Medical Research to shine a spotlight on the impact premature birth has on babies and their families, and to help fund more research that can save lives.

The team took their name from baby Elijah, a premature but much-loved son and brother, who sadly lived for just 37 days.

The Bigland family, long term residents of Burwardsley Road, Tattenhall, are known to many.

CONGRATULATIONS – AN AMAZING ACHIEVEMENT!
