Exercyclethon · 22 March 2007

Duchess of Kent House (hospice) has 16 in-patient beds, day therapy facilities (3 days a week), out-patients and a Family Support Service (bereavement), providing palliative (hospice) care for the population of west and central Berkshire. In the last 15 years over 12,000 patients have been treated and cared-for by a team of 50 (full-time equivalent) consultants, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational and speech therapists, admin & site staff, etc. This care continues after death for those relatives who wish it through the FSS. All care is provided free of charge, according to need. As with all parts of the National Health Service there is never enough money to pay for all aspects of what we technically call ‘specialist palliative care’. This is where the independent charity Duchess of Kent House Trust comes in. Since 2002, the Duchess of Kent House Trust (independent charity) has raised £1,500,000 for the unit to pay for the Family Support Service, 2 in-patient beds otherwise not available, the dietician, chaplaincy, psychologist, aromatherapist, and equipment. Please support this local charity caring for local patients and their families. Thank you very much.

Story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.

24th April 2007 - remember this date - when eleven thoroughbreds of the Reading premium finance scene embark upon a sponsored cycle ride around the office, non-stop for 7 hours.  We'll hit a few desks, maybe clip a few chairs and crash in to the water cooler but it's all for a good cause!

With Paul in his cycle shorts, Colin in his hot pants and Karen looking like Marje Simpson it'll be one helluva day!

Special thanks to Naomi for organising it and many happy returns to the Aon who will be celebrating 20 years in the UK.

UPDATE 26/04/2007
We did it!  70 miles in just over seven hours.  Thank you to everyone who has sponsored us.
