My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Ross (Bear!) and Simon (Brick!) are going for a little bike ride across the North of England!  We're cycling from Whitehaven, in the Lake District, to Tynemouth, the other side of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.  It'll be a total of 147 miles cycled in 5 days across some of the most challenging terrain in the country.  We're starting on Monday 3rd August and hope to reach our goal on Friday 7th August!

It'll clearly be a major challenge, but all money raised is being donated to Noah's Ark Children's Hospice, a charity providing a hospice service to hundreds of life-limited children, and their families.  The money raised will go towards their vision of creating a service that begins with in-home support and grows to include in-house hospice care - with the types of support they develop guided by placing the needs of the children and families at the heart of their thinking.

Our challenge is nothing compared to the challenge these families face every day, so please give what you can.

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 UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.  Thank you very much.

Simon and Ross
