Story

St Elizabeth Hospice: They improve life for people living with  progressive illness and life-limiting conditions, and their families
in the East Suffolk and Great Yarmouth and Waveney areas. Their work is centered around an individual’s needs, which means specialist support, wherever it is required, whether at home, in the community or at the hospice.Every year over 3,000 patients and their families receive care from St Elizabeth Hospice.

The challenge: 980 miles over 9 days from Land’s End to John O’Groats, 27 counties across England, Wales and Scotland and camping for 8 of the nights

Why: Not being a “proper” cyclist I’m still questioning the sanity of my decision to undertake this event. It’s going to be a real physical and mental challenge for me. My dad and aunty both died of cancer and they spent their final days in St Elizabeth Hospice. The care provided was amazing for them and also the rest of the family. The kindness and compassion from the Hospice staff will never be forgotten.

Please give generously and massive thanks in advance!
