Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>It is my personal experience of caring and losing close members of my family to Cancer made me decide to cycle to raise funds for the charity. Having to care for someone you love can be extremely stressful and you need as much support as you possibly can to get through what seems a never ending darkness. I have a friend who has cancer and is also caring for a loved one. She like many others need on going support. The Norfolk Hospice gives an invaluable service but they are largely dependant on donations to keep going. <strong>We are therefore going to start our 100 mile cycle tour on 23 August for&nbsp;4 days.</strong><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"> </font></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style='line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>Norvic E. Bear is due a holiday and is on a mission to find his Viking ancestry in and around Norfolk Church yards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>He is an inquisitive bear and enjoys the thrill of the open road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>However, noisy engines upset him and cycling is difficult for someone whose feet are unable to reach the pedals!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style='line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>Therefore Nigel and Jeanne have been persuaded to accompany him on his tour which will comprise 100 miles plus through the Norfolk Countryside visiting Churchyards and other landmarks. The tour will commence 23 August through to the 26th. </span></p><p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"> </p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style='line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>To commemorate the event, the well known artist Pam Powell of Mundesley Gallery has painted an especially commissioned water colour painting of Norvic E. Bear in all his fluffiness!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>This unique item will be entered into a prize draw with tickets on sale at £3 each. These tickets are available through Nigel and Jeanne and the Tapping House Hospice will officiate at the draw. Tickets are currently available at Jonets Cafe on Mundesley Seafront, Gold Park Hair Salon also in Mundesley and Colin's Sweet and Tobacco shop in North Walsham near the Market Cross. Donations to the Hospice are equally acceptable made on the Just giving website at </span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style='line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>http//www.justgiving.com/Jeanne-Norman.</span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style='line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>Wish Nigel and Jeanne good luck as they are not in the first flush of youth - but Norvic E. Bear's boundless enthusiasm will drive them on.</span></font></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
