My daughter and son-in-law lived in at the hospital in Oxford for a short time, their small daughter staying with us. As a family, they did a sponsored bike ride from Coventry to Oxford to celebrate my grandson’s third birthday, raising a couple of thousand pounds for the Children’s Charity in the process. My grandson has benefitted from the Newlife Charity so it is my turn to do a little in return.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p>
