I have organised a coast to coast cycle ride from Workington to Sunderland, over a distance of 147 miles.  This will take place over 3 days, starting from Saturday August 28th and finishing on Monday 30th August.  The response has been brilliant!  We have 28 cyclists, 3 support vehicles with drivers, grateful contributions from businesses and so on.  For more information, please visit the website http://www.elmwoodc2c.org.uk

I am aiming to raise much needed funds for Elmwood Unit, Harrogate Hospital. My Dad spent several years, almost every other day, visiting the Unit to have his ulcers dealt with.  The staff were brilliant to him and many others in the same position.  Do you know 2 out of 100 people at some time will suffer from this terrible illness?  He was a very proud man, and it was only in his final days did he actually let me see the leg ulcers for the first time.  I was very shocked.  The unit has general funding but do rely heavily on contributions to buy the things that can really make a big difference.  The money raised will buy essential equipment for sufferers of leg ulcers.

So, I would appreciate if family, friends, colleagues and acquaintances reading this page will contribute in helping me reach my target. 

Combined with money raised by the other riders, it would be fantastic if we could make some significant difference. 

Many Thanks to you all.  

Steve.
