Apologies to those who have already heard this through the other forum.
I've not done a sponsored anything for a great many years but this cause is now very close to me as it was the new Myton Hospice in Coventry that cared for my Mother for her last few days at the end of February. I wasn't sure whether to pester people here as I doubt if any of you have even heard of the place (no, not Coventry) but I know that any donation will be put to the best possible use.
The Coventry site has only been open a few months and despite being equipped for 20 in-patients, they only have the resources to make use of half of the rooms. Hopefully this event will not only raise money directly but also raise the profile, within the city, of the new site to the level enjoyed by the more established sites in Warwick and Rugby.
I realise that it's not exactly the Tour De France I'm embarking on with this bicycle ride but for a man of my advanced years and general decrepitude, I'm sure it'll hurt a bit.
So, if anybody would like to throw a couple of quid or more into my virtual, upturned cap, you can do so here and also get a bit more information on the Myton Hospices as well.
