Story

Hi everyone.  I've decided to take part in a 100km charity cycle ride from Manchester to Blackpool on 4 July.  I'm taking part to raise money for St Catherine's Hospice who care for people in the North West diagnosed with a terminal illness.  

Their support is truly invaluable.  From the moment someone is diagnosed, they are there to provide practical support such as arranging wheelchairs and helping sort out finances.  They are there to advise on how to break the news to the children.  They are there to talk to when it comes to making difficult decisions about treatment options.  They provide end-of-life residential care.  And when the person passes away, they remain there to support the family left behind.

Any donation would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

Andy
