Acorns Children’s Hospice Trust cares for life limited children and their families from across the West Midlands. Acorns offers a network of care through its hospices in Birmingham, Walsall and Worcester and its community team who are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The charity has helped over 1100 families but it is estimated that a further 1200 families still need the support that Acorns can provide.

My story

Eight old school friends are embarking on the challenge of a lifetime together - nearly a decade after leaving school. We have decided to cycle the fantastic London to Paris cycle route over a four-day period from 19th to 22nd August 2009. We have organised and funded the whole event ourselves (bikes, accessories, transport, accommodation & clothing). In addition to cycling the 300+ mile route, we will be transporting everything we need on our bikes with us. As well as being a gruelling personal endurance challenge for each one of us 'amateur' cyclists, we are also raising money for the Acorns Children's Hospice.

Acorns is a charity that cares for children that are life-limited, and offers suitable support to their families. More information about the charity and the valuable service they offer can be found at www.acorns.org.uk.

The team of Carter, Clatworthy, Drew, Soave, Teasdale, Twine, Ward and Waring would all greatly appreciate your support if you would be kind enough to offer a donation (no matter how small) to the charity of our choice. None of us have experienced a physical and mental challenge of this nature previously, but with your kind support, we know we will succeed, raise money for a good cause and hopefully enjoy ourselves in the process!!
