Team Nic – Riding the Dalmatian Bike Ride in Memory of Nichala Gallivan

This June, a group of us—family, friends, and supporters—are coming together as Team Nic to take part in the Dalmatian Bike Ride in memory of our beloved Nichala Gallivan.

Nichala, or “Nic” to those who knew and loved her, was an incredible woman—funny, fierce, and full of compassion. Her strength and positivity were unwavering throughout her journey with cancer, and she inspired everyone around her. Even in the toughest times, she radiated warmth and kindness.

We’re riding to honour her memory, and to continue the legacy she helped spark through Team Nic—a community brought together by love, strength, and the drive to make a difference. Since its creation, Team Nic has supported vital local causes, and this year we’re proud to be raising funds for St David’s Hospice Care.

Why We Ride

St David’s Hospice Care provided extraordinary support to Nichala and our family during her final months. Their work goes beyond clinical care—they offer emotional and practical support not just to patients, but to families as well, ensuring dignity, comfort, and peace during the most challenging times.

They care for people with life-limiting illnesses across South East Wales, offering home care, day hospices, bereavement services, and more—all of it free of charge. Their support is only possible thanks to generous fundraising and community efforts.

The Dalmatian Bike Ride, organised by St David’s Hospice Care, is more than a scenic cycle through the Welsh countryside—it’s a celebration of life, a way to remember loved ones, and a chance to support a cause that touches so many. And yes, we’ll be in our best black-and-white Dalmatian-themed gear!

Help Us Make a Difference

Every mile we ride and every donation we receive brings us closer to helping another family receive the same level of compassionate care we did. Whether it’s £5 or £50, your support means the world to us—and to the hospice.

Please donate if you can, share our story, and cheer us on as we pedal for a purpose.

For Nic. For St David’s. For love.

Love you, bye.
