St Ann's Hospice is a charity which cares for thousands of local people with cancer and non-cancer life-limiting illnesses every year.

To honour not only the people I know who have passed away here but also family members who work there I am riding the Portuguese version of Route 66. Also known as the N2.

This will take place over 7 days, starting on April 13th in Chaves and ending in Faro on the 19th.

We will cover approximately 750km (460 miles) and climbing approximately 9,600m (31,500ft).
