John is cycling Palace to Palace for St Christopher's

4 Days. 283 Miles. Over 50 Cyclists.

One Extraordinary Cause. 

Taking on the challenge of cycling from Crystal Palace to the Palace of Versailles on 10th -14th September 2025, all in support of our local hospice. 

I'm cycling Palace to Palace for St Christopher's

St Christopher’s Hospice exists to promote and provide skilled and compassionate palliative care of the highest quality.

Their vision is of a world in which all dying people and those close to them have access to appropriate care and support, when they need it, wherever they need it and whoever they are.

They rely on the generosity of their community, through fundraising campaigns like this, to continue providing our specialist palliative care and familiy care services free of charge.

Thank you for your support.

The adventure starts here ...

Tuesday 1st Apr
I did my first training ride on Sunday, with Phil, Sue, Eric and Kevin. It was great to be riding on the North Downs again.

Now to launch the sponsorship effort. I will cover my costs so every £ goes to St Christopher's.

Thank you to my Sponsors
