Default 75 mile cycle ride for the pilgrims hospice

Hello everyone! on the 6th of May I will be doing my bit to raise money for the Pilgrims Hospice by taking part in a 75 mile cycle ride from Margate to canterbury, on to Ashford and back to Margate.
http://www.pilgrimshospices.org/supp...le-challenges/
Last year i completed a 45 mile ride with some friends and we just managed to raise £250 each in sponsorship. A few weeks ago in a amoment of madness we decided to have a go at the 75 mile ride for 2012, none of us have ridden a bike since the last event in May 2011 so we are a bit lacking in practice!
If you would like to support us and the Pilgrims Hospice please feel free to sponsor me at www.virginmoneygiving.com/martinhayes
If anyone else fancies joining me on the day feel free to enter and come and have a laugh at me! i promise after this i will need medical treatment!

Thank you in advance for your support and time taking time to read this.

Martin

Hi Martin - I can only applaud your efforts on this. The Pilgrims Hospice recently looked after my "father in law" for 4 weeks until he passed away on 8 March. Their professionalism and caring nature meant he had a comfortable passing despite the nature of his illness.

If there's anything I can do to help please drop me a line.

In the meantime I'd like to encourage others to make a donation of whatever size you can afford. Places like the Pilgrim's Hospice need our support over and above some privately run care homes that charge up to £1200 per week!!!

I would just like to say :WELL DONE, me and a friend cycled for about 25 miles and we could not walk for the rest of the 2 weeks and got cramps every 5 minutes etc, it was awful, so good luck, and thanks for doing this for charity, its great.

Thanks chaps for your kind comments. As you say Dave its a fantastic cause. I have had a few friends who's family have used the Hospices over the last few years and to give up just 1 day of my time is the least i can do....(although i'll put in a bill for the pile cream that i'll be needing afterwards)

I'll post some pics of the day when its done. lol
Thanks again
