Story

War Hero Bill Cooksey believes in keeping active and even as he finished his 100 mile walking challenge to coincide with his 100th birthday last year, he was already planning his next big fundraiser - which we hope you can get behind and support, as on 1st June 2022 finishing on 10th August 2022, Bill will be out on his tri-cycle covering 1000 miles for our NHS hospitals charities, raising monies to help patients with life limiting conditions.

Can you help Bill by either donating (don't forget gift aid - it costs you nothing but adds 25% to your donation), perhaps you can take on your own challenge and link it to Bill's, or join him for one of his day's or simply share his page and help surpass his target!

It seems apt as we celebrate the Queen's Jubilee that World War 2 veteran Bill shows that same fighting spirit as Her Majesty the Queen - a total example to us all.
