Grove House’s own Community Fundraiser, Liz Hizli is taking up the challenge herself this summer as she plans to cycle from John O’Groats to Land’s End to raise money for the hospice.

 

Liz, who has been a fundraiser for Grove House for over seven years and spends her working life encouraging supporters to raise money for Grove House, is starting a gruelling training schedule this month to prepare her for the nine day cycling event.

Liz plans to complete the one hundred mile a day Deloitte Ride Across Britain with her partner, John Pilny and brother-in-law, Simon Gay and the trio are aiming to raise £10,000 for the hospice.

 

Dan Chapman of The Giant Store in Radlett is supplying the group with bikes and advice, as well as help with their training. The places have been sponsored E. & J. Gallo Winery Europe - which means that every single penny raised by the group will benefit Grove House.

 

Liz says “I work with the most amazing group of people; I see so many lives that have been touched by cancer and often these people are still working to help the hospice care for other terminally ill people in the community. I felt it was about time I got on my bike quite literally and raised some money myself.”

“I love cycling and I am determined to train hard with John and Simon so that we enjoy what looks to be a great challenge.”
