<p>I am taking part in the London to Paris cycle ride as a way of saying thank you to the Hospice in the Weald for caring for my father in the last days of his life. &nbsp;He sadly passed away last October. &nbsp;The care and dignity the Hospice gave him was a great comfort to me and my family. &nbsp;The Hospice also provided day care for my dear friend Dermot Martin shortly before his death in 2006. &nbsp; &nbsp;Both my dad and Dermot are sadly missed and will be forever in my thoughts so please dig deep and help me raise money for and even beat my target. &nbsp;Many thanks. &nbsp;Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
