My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

This September I will be setting myself the challenge of cycling from London to Geneva, Switzerland in aid of Katharine House Hospice. The ride takes place over 10 days and will cover 670 miles.

Katharine House is a charity that is extremely important to me and my family. A few of my close family members had short stays at the hospice. The care they received was truly appreciated by us all, and that is why I am doing this cycle ride to give back a little of what they gave to my family.

Katharine House Hospice provides palliative care for those with life-threatening illnesses whose disease is not responsive to curative treatment. The hospice stands as a living memorial to the life of Katharine Gadsby who in 1984, tragically died of cancer at the age of twenty. Since the time of her death her parents Neil and Heather Gadsby, together with friends and many other people have worked tirelessly to raise funds to develop the hospice services. It is an independent sector hospice and relies largely on charitable donations for funding. The hospice has to raise 1.3 million pounds themselves each year to maintain their level of service and only receive a small amount of funding from the government.

I am aware that the current economic climate is affecting many of us, but if there is anyway you could make any donation, however small it would be extremely appreciated. I have to raise a minimum of £2800 in total.

If you require any more information or would like to ask me any questions then please do not hesitate to contact me on 07775441703.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Katharine House Hospice Trust, Adderbury, Oxfordshire gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for taking the time to read this.
