HI All,

 

On Friday 3rd of May I will be starting a bike ride and golf marathon in aid of Barnsley Hospice which is a charity that provides specialist palliative care and support to hundreds of local people and their families each year.

 

Our main priority is to achieve the best possible quality of life for patients with a life limiting illness, whilst supporting their families, during the period of illness and bereavement. As a specialist care provider, the range of skills we offer include, pain and symptom management, emotional support and end of life care.

The details of my Bike and Golf challenge are as follows,

I start the trip at Turnberry with 18 holes of golf with a 7am tee off then the first leg will entail a 50.4KM bike ride from Turnberry to Cairnryan Port. Then board a ferry to Belfast. I will then arrive in Belfast and straight to hotel then up early to bed and up and ready to leave at 7am before heading onto the second Leg to The Royal Belfast Golf course this will entail a 20KM bike ride before another 18 Holes before cycling another 15KM back to the Port for the night ferry to Birkenhead.

I will then arrive in Birkenhead for 6.30am Sunday 5th May 2013. From here I will head to Wales to The Northop Golf & Country Club which will entail another 33KM on the third Leg. Sunday afternoon I will play another 18 holes and then the final the fourth Leg which will be a gruelling 60KM from Wales to the Marriott Worsley park in Manchester where we will tee off for our final round of 18 Holes at 2pm. 

Not bad going for someone who doesnt cycle or play golf !!! All costs of the challenge will be covered by myself, this will be my donation.
