Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Dentaid is a charity that works tirelessly to increase access to dental care for the most vulnerable people in our communities. Their patients include people experiencing homelessness, head and neck cancer patients, refugees and asylum seekers, looked after children, fishing communities and victims of domestic violence. Their mobile dental units visit hostels, days centres, soup kitchens and community buildings with volunteer dental professionals providing free oral health advice, check-ups and pain-relieving treatments. Since the pandemic demand for their services has skyrocketed and more vulnerable people are suffering the misery of untreated toothache than ever before. The Straumann Charity Bike Ride will help Dentaid purchase a new mobile dental unit so we can visit more communities across the UK.

The ride is from Bilbao to Sitges, so effectively the Atlantic to the Med and its 500 miles over 5 days with about 29000 feet of climbing!

I am also doing this ride in memory of my sister Sue, who died of Pancreatic cancer in September 2018 at the age of 64. If your donations reach the target of £1500, I myself pledge to donate £1500 to Pancreatic Cancer UK in her memory.
