Hello you beautiful people.

This Saturday 13th April I will be riding my battered commuter bike 100km in the Tour de Bristol to raise money for St.Peter's Hospice. I'm in a team of colleagues known as Team Tango and I personally hope to complete it in about 5 hours. By the way, the furthest I've ever ridden a bike is 56km.

Also, if I raise over £500 before Saturday then I'll keep the mudguards and rack on and strap a large cuddly toy to the front.

A message from the hospice:

We believe everyone deserves care and dignity at the end of their life, and our expert teams provide that in a professional and caring way. Our support is holistic, and covers the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual issues that can arise as a result of serious illness. We also extend our care to loved ones and carers, providing respite during the hardest of times.

Thanks to donations like yours, we can be a voice at the end of the phone, a nurse on the doorstep, and a hand to hold through the darkest of times.
