My story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

This May, two amateur cyclists on the wrong side of 40 (Adrian Ilari & Gary Bowles) will be attempting to cycle the 320 miles from Verona to Rome to raise money for the Michael Sobell House Hospice at the Mount Vernon hospital. The hospice provides care for people with terminal illnesses and looked after Gary's mother, Thelma, during the weeks before she passed away last year.

The treatment and care that they offer to patients, as well as the support they give to their families and carers, is given free of charge and relies on charitable donations. I hope you agree that this is a worthwhile cause and one that you feel able to support.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Michael Sobell House Hospice 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 us now and make those blisters & saddle sores worth it.
