<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Liz says “I work with the most amazing group of people; I see so many lives that have been touched by cancer and often these people are still working to help the hospice care for other terminally ill people in the community. I felt it was about time I <em>got on my bike </em>quite literally and raised some money myself.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">“I love cycling and I am determined to train hard with John and Simon so that we enjoy what looks to be a great challenge.”</span></p>
