Dean Carney

Cyclist

I am Ella's Referee Coach, and was by her side during the horrible events of August! The Oslo Universitetssykehus were incredible with both Ella and I so the cycle is a ridiculous, but exciting and important way to raise money and say thank you for those that saved her life! 

Cyclist 

I am Ella’s dad and after spending a week at her bedside I wanted to do something to thank the people of the Oslo Universitetssykehus for saving Ella’s life. I‘ve had experience with football having been a player, football coach and proud dad of Ella’s career as a referee.

Cyclist 

Dean and Ella are both colleagues and knowing the events of August it seemed only right to want to help on this awesome journey, it's a once in a lifetime challenge.

Social Media Lead 

I have been refereeing for 4 years and went out to Oslo to officiate at Norway Cup in 2023 before rupturing my spleen and having emergency surgery. I will be taking the lead in social media platforms along with the organising of additional events before the cycle ride in July 2024.

Support Vehicle Driver Lead

I had been refereeing in Norway Cup   for over 18 years, the last 5 years as a referee coach. I have enjoyed driving from the UK to Oslo for the last 13 years and to-date trouble free everyone in the Norway Cup knows me as Scouse ref for good reasons and yes bad.

Event Supporter

After finding out about Ella's accident and then the idea about cycling to raise money, I knew I wanted to be apart of the journey and show my support with helping with the events.
