“John Ellis's fundraising”

on 15 February 2011

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
St Rocco’s Hospice provides specialist care and support across Warrington, helping those who are coping with a life-limiting illness. It costs over £5 million each year to run the hospice – which means we need to raise over £12,000 each and every day just to keep running.

Story

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Emerson End 2 End Challenge</span></strong></p> <p>On the 22nd May 2011, myself and a team of friends and colleagues are embarking on a gruelling 2 week challenge, cycling the length of the UK from Lands End to John O'Groats.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Starting at Land&rsquo;s End we will pedal our way through Cornwall, over Dartmoor and North along the Welsh border. We will travel through Cheshire, work our way West of Manchester into Lancashire and then skirt the edge of the Lake District. We will then ride across the country through the Scottish Borders towards Stirling. From there we head into the Highlands, pass through Inverness and on to our final destination&hellip;&hellip;John O&rsquo; Groats.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am completing this challenge in aid of St Rocco's Hospice in Warrington.&nbsp; St Roccos is an independant hospice which provides specialist care for patients with Cancer and other life threatening illnesses.&nbsp; All care is provided by volunteers and it currently costs around &pound;2.6 million per annum to keep the hospice open.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Many people are affected by Cancer in one way or another during their lifetime, and I'm sure you will agree that this is a worthy cause.&nbsp; So please dig deep and make this tough&nbsp;challenge worthwhile.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Many thanks in advance,</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">John</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">&nbsp;</span></span></p>
