Forge Europa is putting together a team of cyclists to undertake the gruelling Cumbria Way route from Carlisle to Ulverston on 3^rd October 2010. The 100km+ ride across the beautiful English Lake District includes a number of “leg burning” climbs and is being attempted to raise money for two very worthwhile charities dedicated to hospice care; St Mary's Hospice and CAFOD. This Justgiving Page is dedicated to raising money for St Mary's Hospice only. If you want to donate to both charities please see my original email or contact me.

St Mary’s Hospice in Ulverston (Charity Number 517738) provides specialised supportive and palliative care for people throughout South Cumbria with life-limiting conditions. All St Mary’s care is provided free of charge, but it is not cost free and relies on supporters to raise money.

Forge Europa is committed to giving 50% matched fund raising which means for every £1000 raised through sponsorship the company will donate a further £500.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
