Ride for Patch finished! Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has generously given and those who have provided encouragement and company on the road, you are all amazing! Due to your support, Patch will now be going to the SMILE center in Toronto in March. Special shout out to Alice for providing much needed tea at the Little Harbour Hospice and to our son Sam who cycled the final 20 miles.

The family are blown away by everyone's generosity, thank you very much. Day 1 ticked off, London to Petersfield, seen off by son Dave (thanks for getting me to the startline Dave), and Sue Jeeves and Richard Percival of the Children's Trust. Enjoyed riding in the Surrey Hills, especially the Box Hill descent! Special mention to the staff at the Premier Inn, Petersfield.
