Story

As you may know I sadly lost my Dad to Cancer in June 2022 after a strong fight. My Dad meant the world to me and probably has a lot to answer for the way I am today, not withstanding I owe him a lot for teaching me the ways of the world. If I can be as strong as he was I will know that I have achieved something.

The loss of my Dad affected me a lot and still does to this day and I am doing this ride for him.

During Dad's final days he was cared for lovingly by the Pilgrims Team in Margate and at home by a fantastic Nurse Debbie, who was always on hand to help me when things got complicated before caring for Dad as he sadly passed away in the most dignified way and made sure as a family we had the support we needed.

The Pilgrims didn't just help my Dad, they have helped other family members and close friends in what has been their darkest days - please help me to raise funds so this vital work can continue.

Thank you for your generosity

Love you Dad. Xx
