Story

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my page.

This June my challenge is to up my game and go for the 50 mile Divas On Wheels ride in aid of Pilgrims Hospices. Last year I cycled the 25 mile route and raised over £200 for the Charity. This year I am cycling further and want to raise more money for this fantastic cause. 

Money that is raised from this type of event is fundamental in keeping Charities such as Pilgrims Hospices running and enables the fantastic people who work there to continue to provide the best care for patients and their families. To give you an idea of what your greatly appreciated donations are used for:

  • £10 could pay for a day of meals for a patient
  • £20 could pay for an hour of nursing care
  • £35 could pay for therapy sessions for patients and carers
  • £50 could pay for essential nursing supplies. 

Most people these days are affected by cancer. When I was 15, I lost my Granny to cancer. I was devastated as we were very close. I know that Pilgrims Hospice looked after her well and that the nurses were kind and thoughtful. 

I am riding in memory of my Granny and to help raise funds so that other families get the same level of care when faced with difficult times. 

I will be so grateful for anything you can donate - it all adds up. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
