In December 2017 my friend Pippa Koller lost her battle with cancer. She was in her early 40s. 

Princess Alice Hospice provided amazing care for Pippa in her final months, weeks and days. The staff gave support to Pippa's husband Adam and their children Ethan (10) and Imogen (7), creating lasting positive memories of Pippa's final days to carry them through the grieving process and take forward as they rebuild their lives. 

End of life care is incredibly important. Hospices like Princess Alice rely on charitable funding rather than the NHS. 

I am supporting this hospice with this ride as a thank you for what they have done for my friends, Pippa and Adam, and because I want hospices like Princess Alice to continue to exist and to continue supporting people like me and you when we need it most.

So.... give generously! Give generously enough and I will shave my legs like a pro cyclist and post a video of me doing it. Give even more generously and I will destroy the video.
