The Big Ride Idea

Sadly last year our Dad died of cancer. He was a very special man who is greatly missed by all his family and friends. He was known by many as 'a gentle man and a gentleman.' My family were touched by the care and support the staff at St Ann's hospice gave to both my Dad and us in his final days. St Ann's is the largest hospice in Greater Manchester who help improve the quality of life for those with life-threatening illnesses, whilst supporting their families.  Relying on 65% of their funding to come from donations from the public my brother and I wanted to raise money for St Ann's

We have decided to take up the mammoth task of cyclling from John O'Groats to Lands End. We will be doing this at the end of May and have two weeks to complete it in! We would like to raise as much money as possible for this fantastic hospice and hopefully do our Dad proud!!!
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So please dig deep and donate now.
