On the 26th of September I'm riding 100 miles from Wellington (Shropshire) to Aberystwyth in memory of my father, who sadly passed away from cancer two months ago. Im also riding in support of the Severn Hospice who took such fantastic care of him and do so consistently for other family's and their loved ones in the final moments, days and weeks of their lives. The hospice is entirely dependent on charitable funding and it is imperative that it's supported at every opportunity. Imagine the type of care you'd want for your loved ones in the final stages of their lives.......the hospice provides this alongside incredible support for their families. I think you'll agree that this type of service is priceless and places like the hospice must be kept going and supported as much as possible!!! 

I've been training for the past couple of months, have put the miles in and have even had one crash to date. I'd like to raise at least 1000 pounds and have 3 weeks to do so. 15 pounds or more from 100 people will smash this. The most important thing is the hospice so please bear them and what they do in mind when contributing :) I thank you in advance for any contribution made and apologise simultaneously for the next 3 weeks of hounding you may receive. 

Perhaps there is a small silver lining that can come out of a difficult time.
