Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am participating in the famous Cape Argus Cycle Event. It is the single day cycle event with the most participants in the world and is held in the beautiful Cape Region of South Africa. It is one of the cycle events that has a strong heritage as it has been taking place for a number of decades. It has been an ambition of mine to take part in this ride and I would love to raise money for the very worthy  Great North Children's Hospital charity while doing this. 

The North East is lucky enough to have right here on its doorstep one of the largest and most comprehensive children's hospitals in the UK.
The Great North Children's Hospital (GNCH) offers the most extensive range of children's services anywhere outside of London. It has special wards, operating theatres, outpatients and day case suites, all tailored just for children. It even has its own Accident and Emergency Department. Everything a sick or injured child may need is under one roof.
The young patients include thousands of local children from the North East and Cumbria as well as those who travel with their families from across the country, and even the world, to benefit from the GNCH's specialist services. We believe there is no better place for a sick or injured child or young person to be when they need expert care.

Please help GNCH to celebrate its 10th year in 2020 by assisting its fundraising!

The cycle to be used for the event was purchased by the Cycle to Work Scheme. If you are interested in this, please follow the link to the associated blog:
