Seven For Sophie

A team of cyclists will be pedalling 300km within 24 hours on Thursday 20th June 2024 to help raise money and awareness of Sophie's Legacy. They will be starting from Guildford Hospital around 4am and finishing in Southampton hospital around 10pm.

Both Tom Bentley and Tom Mundy met on the NICU Ward at Southampton Hospital, having both unexpectedly been brought onto the ward with their partners Catherine and Penny and their new born children Alba and Sebastian.

Both family’s were hugely grateful for the support from Sophie’s Legacy, at the time of much uncertainty, food donated by Sophie’s Legacy enabled normality in a uniquely abnormal situation.

One of Sophie's wishes was for parents to be fed in hospital. We will be using this event to raise awareness that many parents up and down the country do not have access to food when they stay overnight with their poorly child. We are passionate about making significant changes to this and have been working with NHS England to start increasing the number of hospitals offering food.

The cyclists will be cycling to raise money to keep feeding parents in hospital. With your help we can feed many more.
