Story
Having not ridden a bike since 2008 I have been inspired to return to the saddle in support of the fantastic work done in our homes and schemes up and down the country supporting people to live later life well.
Team MHA are taking on a challenging five day bike ride, around 375 miles stopping at MHA communities along the route. Beginning at our very first care home, Ryelands in Surrey, travelling through the picturesque Cotswolds and stunning Peak District National Park before crossing the finish line at our retirement living community, Moor Allerton in Leeds. We rely on donations and fundraising in order to provide our life-enhancing services, chaplaincy, music therapy and our community groups. All donations to MHA are invested into the services we provide.
Because of our fundraising activities MHA are able to offer services such as chaplaincy and music therapy to our residents and members that other providers cannot, and I see on a daily basis the positive impact that these charitable elements of our service make.
I am looking forwards to riding with colleagues from across the organisation, connecting our communities in the spirit of One MHA working together.
Hopefully we can raise a significant sum to make a real difference in our work to enable people to live later life well
