Story

We are doing it again.

Last year, members of the Bayer General Medicine team in the UK cycled from our Head Office in Newbury all the way to Paris, in order to raise money for the inspirational people at Naomi House.

Seeing the fantastic work that Naomi House do for children with life limiting conditions has inspired us to raise money for them again this year, so we're embarking upon an even more challenging adventure... to cycle the 330 miles from London to Amsterdam.  Our journey will take in four countries in four days - starting in London we will travel through France, Belgium and finally into Holland.  It promises to be a real test of endurance and stamina for the whole team, but it's for an amazing charity that inspires us all.

It's staggering to think that it takes over £7 million pounds a year to run Naomi House and Jack's Place, yet they only receive around £300,000 in Government funding. In order to keep their phenomenal work going they rely on charity donations and legacies. Our efforts will make a huge difference to them and the families that they support during the very darkest of days.  If you can sponsor us, please do, you'll be making a huge difference to those people.  Thank you.

Naomi House & Jacksplace hospices provide 24 hour care to more than 360 life limited and life threatened children and young adults from across central southern England. We offer respite, community, emergency, end of life and post bereavement care on good days, difficult days and last days.
