Thanks for visiting our JustGiving page! The Dexia team has been invited to take part in a gruelling 50 mile cycle challenge on the 28th September 2011 from the outskirts of London to Oxford to raise funding for a very worthy cause. Entering the "race" are 4 battle hardened project financiers (Iain Wales, Alistair Perkins, Peter Clifton and Barry Dale) whose athletic pedigree is believed to be without parallel (?) but this lung busting adventure has been designed to test each of their endurance skills to the limit.
A word on the charity
Helen House was the world’s first children’s hospice, founded nearly 30 years ago. Douglas House opened in 2004 and is still the only UK hospice specifically for teenagers and young adults aged 16-35. The Houses pioneer the highest levels of specialist care, offering medically supported short breaks, emergency care and end-of-life care. It costs over £4.5million a year to run the two Hospice houses. With no guaranteed government funding, Helen & Douglas House must raise 80% of this (£3.6million) every year.
