Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit one of the two JustGiving pages for our bike ride from John O'Groats to Ipswich. Please, if you're feeling generous - and we hope that you are! - visit our other page and donate there too, as remember we're doing this for 2 charities rather than just the one. Our other page is here: <strong><a id="cphMain_cphJGSiteContent__accountContent__yourPageHeader__pageUrl" title="http://www.justgiving.com/bike4pete-bcrt" href="http://www.justgiving.com/bike4pete-bcrt" target="_blank">http://www.justgiving.com/bike4pete-bcrt</a></strong></p> <p>A little bit of the story as to why we're doing this. A dear friend of ours, Pete Adams, lost his long battle with cancer last year. He leaves a huge gap in the lives of so many. More of his story can be found here: <strong><a title="www.bike4pete.com" href="http://www.bike4pete.com" target="_blank">http://www.bike4pete.com</a></strong>.&nbsp; So, with this in mind, in his memory 6 of his friends are going to do a cycle ride from John O'Groats to Ipswich in April 2011. The paticipants are Gordon Taylor, Dave Maddox, Ant Birt, Rob Glassford, Scott Leslie and Martin Dowling.</p> <p>About St Elizabeth Hospice: St Elizabeth Hospice improves life for people living with a progressive illness.
