It is also in memory of Elsie Laing who spent her last days at the Woking Hospice in their loving and dedicated care.</span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Times-Roman; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.0pt; text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: ArialMT; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Elsie was the mother of our friend Erica Crouse, who together with her husband Alan, have been full of praise for the incredibly sensitive support and care given by the staff and Macmillan nurses who attended Elsie. They were also very impressed by the understanding that was extended to visiting family members. The support offered by the Hospice also extends to bereavement counselling and I have other friends who have benefited from this.&nbsp;&nbsp; The overall standards achieved at the Hospice are to the highest professional level which is such a credit to this dedicated team.</span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Times-Roman; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.0pt; text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: ArialMT; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In considering a fund raising event I decided to drive my Morgan up and down the United Kingdom on a <strong>2000 mile journey</strong></span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: ArialMT; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> from <strong>Woking to John O&rsquo;Groats, then down to Lands End on A and B roads and then the final leg, back to Woking</strong></span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: ArialMT; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> .</span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Times-Roman; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.0pt; text-align: center; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: ArialMT; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><strong>Our target is to raise &pound;10K for the Woking and Sam Beare Hospices.</strong></span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Times-Roman; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.0pt; text-align: center; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: ArialMT; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We are covering our costs so all money donated benefits the Hospice.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: ArialMT; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Thank you very much for your support. </span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Times-Roman; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: ArialMT; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Kevin Doyle &amp; Dave Turner </span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Times-Roman; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">&nbsp;
