Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
My Dad (John Dench) sadly passed away on 10th December 2010, only 2 months after a brain tumour was diagnosed. The tumour proved to be untreatable, and as a result my Dad was allowed to come home for the last few weeks of his life. The care he received, at home, from both the Marie Curie and St Baranabas nurses proved to be exceptional. We will forever be in gratitude to these selfless people who put both the care of the patient and the family to the fore in such distressing times.
This page is to sponsor Marie Curie, if you click on the following link you can sponsor St Barnabas, a hospice which supplied nurses to care for my Dad through the night. Both charities are equally deserving, so if you can afford it, you might even consider sponsoring both charities!!

Lands End to John O'Groats has been an idea for a few years now, and this family tragedy has given me the drive and ambition to do it. I've roped in a good mate, Andy 'Woody' Turner, who will ride the whole route with me. We're also roping in a few mates to drive my van, which will be the support vehicle throughout the trip.
It's likely to be a June 2011 ride, with the aim of completing the ride within 4 days. That's 220 miles per day!! Visit our website to keep updated - www.lejog4mariecurie.co.uk
