The reason why:
On the 16 September, I will be setting off from Tangley near and hoping to complete an unsupported bicycle ride of approximately 1,000 miles arriving in San Sebastian Northern Spain two weeks later. I will be accompanied by one other friend, Justin Whitehead, and I am aiming to fulfil this challenge and raise money in support of The Countess of Brecknock Hospice.
One of our closest friends, Louis Bernon, lost the battle against cancer in February of this year and spent his last few weeks being cared for at this hospice. I was impressed by the care and support they provided Louis and his family and so would like to raise as much money as possible through this event to enable them to continue their good work.
Monies raised will go directly to the hospice and help them with; the running costs of the day care centre, providing a high ratio of nursing staff to patients, medical cover at weekends and an environment as homely as possible.
If you would like to find out more of what this charity does, please look at the following www.countessofbrecknockhospice.co.uk.
My goal is to raise £6,000 and I would really appreciate any contribution you are able to make, large or small. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Many thanks for your support.
