For the Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Charity because people matter most.

Story

I am raising funds for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Luton & Dunstable Hospital by cycling from Geneva to Nice. James Wheeler and I will ride unsupported through the Alps covering 600km in 6 days. With 15,300m of climbing we are essentially going up Mt Everest 1.5 times!

12 years ago my twin daughters spent the first six weeks of their lives being cared for by the amazing NICU team. They have grown from tiny premature babies requiring oxygen and feeding tubes to sport obsessed healthy girls.

A few years ago as part of a team I cycled from Lands End to John O’Groats and raised enough money to buy two brain monitoring machines for the NICU. I’m cycling again to raise more funds to support this great facility and would really appreciate your support.
