In June 2015 five of our staff members completed the London
to Brighton cycle challenge for The British Heart Foundation. This year we have decided to do something different and create our own charity cycle which 11 staff members will partake in. This years event takes place on 30th September/1st October and is:
Hemel to Stonehenge - SWR Charity Cycle
The route is 124 miles and to give some context, a lap of the M25 is 117!! We have set ourselves the task of raising £7500 for The Hospice of St. Francis this year, the target is a stretch so every donation will help. We will be working just as hard on our fundraising as our training and will update you on how our legs feel and what fun and/or embarrassing events we undertake along the way to get the job done.
We decided it was important to us to raise money for a local
charity and as soon as we decided that it was easy to select The Hospice of St Francis.
The hospice does brilliant work in providing care for people with life limiting illnesses both at the hospice and in patients homes. This fantastic work has directly touched many staff members within SWR and we feel proud to be fundraising for such a brilliant cause.
To offer see what your money could go towards see below:
£25 can pay for a whole days supply of oxygen for a patient
with breathing difficulties.
£50 could pay for a counselling session for a child
experiencing the loss of a loved one.
£150 could keep our Specialist Home Care Nurses on the road
for 3 weeks.
£500 could pay for an entire morning shift of nursing in our
In Patient Unit.
£1,000 could pay for a syringe driver used to administer
medicine to patients.
We will be hugely grateful for any donations that you can
make to this cause and it will certainly make the cycling that little bit
easier knowing we have your support!
Thank you all in advance :)
