Team Rosy Green

This is the fourth year we have taken part in the Pilgrims Hospice Cycle Challenge. Last year we reached our target to raise enough money to cover what would have been spent caring for my mum, Rosy Green, in the last few months of her life.

We aren't stopping there, we want to ensure other people can get the same support and care at a time when it is need most.

Rosy was in Ashford hospice in October 2021 and the positive energy, enthusiasm, genuine kindness and compassion were huge factors in making her well enough to go home. Rosy passed away in Canterbury hospice on Thursday 27 January 2022.

Throughout her life, Rosy had the skill to recognise and reach out to those who needed it; her lifetime of voluntary work depicts the person she was. She cared dearly about the refugee cause and gathered clothing donations, but she truly believed that charity starts on your own doorstep. If we contribute to our local community where we can, we all thrive and build a stronger, more caring and established community.

The 2025 team is: Mike & Georgie Green , Dave & Josephine Millyard , Kip & James Denne, Lauren & Buster Soutan. Collectively we are aiming to cover over 315miles.

Thank you for contributing to our cause.

At its heart, Pilgrims is dedicated to providing skilled and compassionate care, free of charge, to people living with an incurable illness in east Kent. Their vision is that people with a life-limiting illness are supported and empowered to live well in mind & body, making the most of the time they have. They care for over 2,500 patients a year, at their 3 inpatient units in Canterbury, Thanet & Ashford, their therapy centres, or in patients’ own homes. With 80% of their funding being voluntary contributions, your support cannot be overstated.
