Raising money for

Treetops Hospice

Charity Registration No. 519540

Treetops Hospice provides palliative care services for adults with life limiting illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease, heart conditions and cancer. The hospice supports areas of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

We need your help to build a New Day Care Centre.

Over the last four years demand for our services has more than doubled. To continue the excellent services we provide we need more space. The Treetops Hospice Ripple Appeal is a £1million appeal to raise funds for a much needed New Day Care Centre at Treetops. We are on our last £300,000 so truly every pound counts.

My story

Mission accomplished. We completed the trip in 12 days covering a distance of 917 miles. Can't say that we enjoyed every minute - cycling in the rain is no fun but the good times massively outweighed the bad and we both enjoyed it. Thanks to everyone who sponsored us.

**************************************************************************************************************************************

David and I will be cycling the 900 miles in 12 days from 4th to 15th July. At an average of 75 miles a day this will be a challenge of endurance for Dad (that's me - definitely) and son (David - most probably)!!!

Treetops Hospice in our village of Risley are currently trying through their "Ripple Appeal" to raise a massive sum of money to extend their buildings and so enable them to offer more services to people in need of their help. With about £300,000 still to raise it is our chance to help and move them a little closer to their target. Please give generously - it is a great cause offering help to people and families when they need it most.

Plan is to travel:-

Day 1: Land's End to Camelford (80 miles); 2: Wellington (80); 3: Monmouth (85): 4: Shrewsbury (70); 5: Warrington (50); 6: Kendal (65); 7: Dumfries (80): 8: Stewarton (70); 9: Bridge of Orchy (80); 10: Fort Augustus (75); 11: Brora (85); 12: John O'Groats (65).
