On June 9th, 6 people - Roy Aston, Howard Chambers, Mike Aston-Mead, Ian Aston, Mark Ritson and myself, Marc Kirsten - will be embarking on an epic, 1 day, 205 mile “Race The Sun” bike ride. Starting on the east coast in Southend-on-Sea, Essex at sunrise, we will attempt to arrive on the west coast in Burnham-on-Sea,Somerset before sunset.

St. Giles Hospice, based in both Whittington, near Lichfield, and Sutton Coldfield, provides a range of care and support for people with life-limiting conditions.

Only one third of its running costs are provided by the NHS. For the rest, the hospice is reliant upon the generosity of the local and wider community.

£28 could pay for 1 hour of one-to-one nursing care for a patient.

£40 could pay for 1 hour of our Advice and Referrals team.

£202 could pay for visits to a patient in their own home by our community nurses.

£676 could pay for 24 hours of hospice care for a patient at the end of their life.

Please help us to help St. Giles Hospice.
