This is it!

Wednesday 2nd Apr
Ok so the sun is out, it is officially Spring and I am embarking on my training and fundraising for this year's Palace to Palace bike ride in aid of St Christopher's. We will be doing around 300 miles in 4 days, from Crystal Palace in South London to the Palace of Versailles in Paris. We are hoping to raise much needed funds for the work of St Christopher's and I am so grateful for your sponsorship which will spur me on to do the training and preparation needed, let alone the event itself in September!

Thank you to my Sponsors

All the best Helly. We had the blessing of our dear mum/wife, Olivia, being under St Christopher's both at home and then finally in the hospice where she spent - what turned out to be - her last 4 days. The love and care received was unmatched. Thank you.
