I am choosing to ride for the Epsom and St Helier Hospitals Charity – they are the official registered Trust Charity that supports both Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals.

If you know me then you are aware my twin daughters were born at just 32 weeks gestation, weighing around 2 and 3 lbs each respectively. They went on to spend a month under the care of the neonatal ward at St Helier. This is something that I will be eternally grateful for and has even lead me to being employed by the trust itself. The girls are now 16 months old and will be in Brighton (on Fathers Day) for a sweaty squeeze when I arrive on my bike.

With your generosity and support, we can provide funds to support patients, their families and the staff who care for them at our hospitals. We rely on donations and fundraising to allow us to support over and above what is normally provided. This can include buying new medical equipment, improving facilities, supporting staff training and so much more.

Anything you spare will benefit us and I haven’t set a target for this reason. Thanks for your time and support.
