Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Whilst planning this, what some friends have described as a mad 50th year trip, a beautiful and wonderful friend died of cancer. Janice died aged 53 in July 2011. I first met Jan when I was 17 and in 33 years never heard her&nbsp;complain or say a bad word about anyone and she always had a smile on her face. Jan recieved fantastic care from all the staff&nbsp;at the Woolverstone Wing of the Ipswich hospital and I know she would&nbsp;have loved to&nbsp;raise some money to help them in their refurbishment programme&nbsp;to help&nbsp;their present and future&nbsp;patients. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The Woolverstone Wish Fund has been created&nbsp;in order to raise money to refurbish the Chemotherapy outpatient clinics and day-unit in the Woolverstone Wing of Ipswich Hospital. The aim is to increase the available space, improve privacy for patients and provide a more comfortable treatment area.&nbsp;They have a goal of &pound;800,000. More information can be found on their website <a href="http://www.woolverstonewish.org.uk/">http://www.woolverstonewish.org.uk/</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Our Aim is to Cycle from the west to the east coast of America, which is around 3000 miles. We hope to travel about 100 miles a day and have set aside 5 to 6 weeks to complete our challenge. Please sponser this epic challenge by way of donating to the Woolverstone Wish Charity. Thanks for all your support.</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>**BLOG**</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.tomorrowwerideagain.com">http://www.tomorrowwerideagain.com</a></p> <p>We have set up a blog which contains more detailed information about our challenge such as the proposed route, start and fininsh dates etc...
