My St Christoper's Challenge

Thursday 13th Feb
Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by.  In 2018 my dad was a patient at St Christopher's Hospice, in Sydenham and then my beloved grandma during 2020.  The constant care and attention they received whilst there was fantastic.  The hospice always made my family welcome and supported any request we had, no matter how small.  The amazing round the clock care the hospice gave was immeasurable and I want to raise money to help support their ongoing costs caring for people young and old, who may need it in the future.  I'm cycling to The Palace of Versailles from Crystal Palace, London this September and am pretty scared to be honest as I've never cycled more than 5 miles.  Supporting the hospice is driving me on and making me fearless, well that's the plan anyway. Donations from my colleagues, friends and family will be hugely appreciated and will help me get to my target.  Thanks so much everyone, my family dont know what we would have done without the support of St Christopher's Hospice! Tessa

St Christophers Hospice has supported our family over the years. They cared for my husband, Stephen, and my mother, Lilian, when they were terminally ill, They also visited me at home when I was too ill to go to them. We are so grateful to them.

Great cause to support. We visited Stephen while he was in St Christopher’s. My mother also had great help from St Francis Hospice in Essex. Looks a tough one. You will need to change the routine in the gym to the bike.
