Gillian and Hazel are cycling from Venice to Milan in October to raise funds for the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice

The 4 day challenge will cover 520 Km climbing to the Madonna del Ghisallon at 754m above lake Como

The Madonna del Ghisallo is one of the most famous hill climbs in cycling history, located atop a mountain pass near the shores of Lake Como. In 1949, Pope Pius XII officially declared the Madonna del Ghisallo the patron saint of cyclists

The hospice offers continuous, caring support for families and patients facing life limiting conditions and offering the highest level of care, and community support in an exceptional environment

This is all made possible by the ongoing generosity of supporters
