‘INSPIRATIONAL’ siblings from Rugby are gearing up to cycle over 60 miles to raise money for the charity which looks after the Hospital of St Cross.
Mithra and Aadhiran Sathiyamurthi will ride from Rugby to Stratford and back alongside 20 of their friends, with the aim of raising at least £2,000 for The Friends of St Cross.
Aadhiran, 11, took on a similar challenge in 2024, and sister Mithra, eight, followed in his tyre tracks with a 40-mile ride last year.
The Rugby Rotary Clubs’ Youth Committee recognised their achievements by nominating them for Rotary District level Rotary Young Citizen Awards, which they received from former Mayor Barbara Brown towards the end of her Mayoral year.
Mithra and Aadhiran’s proud mum and dad Swathika and Sathiyamurthi said: “What began as a simple family initiative has grown into something far more meaningful – a shared mission to promote physical and mental wellbeing, not just within our family, but across the wider community.
“Both have turned their personal milestones into something bigger – raising funds for their school and for the Friends of St Cross Hospitals.
“As a family, that’s something we are incredibly proud of.”
