Story

Si Parisi and Steve Hackett are taking on a challenge to raise much-needed funds for St Catherine's Hospice.

On 24 August they will embark on a 325km (202 miles) bike ride from New Longton to High Wycombe (IN A DAY!). Why, do you ask? Many of us will have firsthand experience of St Catherine’s or know someone that has. It costs more than £7m to run the charity each year and they rely on the generosity of supporters to help raise the funds. Any donation is gratefully received and will motivate Si and Steve to keep pedalling!!

We are very grateful to our corporate sponsors - The Fun Experts, Brown & Co, Back Care Solutions and C&W Berry Ltd who have got them off to a flying start towards hitting their £20,000 target (thats the cost to run the hospice for a day).
