Assistant Fundraiser Kirstie will be running for Zoë's Place, why don't you join her?
If you are new to fun runs, this is an ideal opportunity to try something for the first time. Set in the memorial Park in Coventry, this 5 kilometer run will be a colourful show of support for good causes; we hope that you will choose Zoë's Place!
Once you have pledged to fundraise for Zoë's Place and completed your registration, we will forward your fundraising pack to get you started. This will include some information about Zoë's Place Baby Hospice, a sponsorship form, and your own Zoë's Place T-shirt.
Lands End to John O'Groats
Bike Ride 2010
On Monday 20th September, Alfie's Team will be donning the Lycra and mounting six of the coolest road bikes known to man in an attempt to cycle from Lands End to John O'Groats to raise money for all three of the Zoë's Place Hospices. The team have been inspired to take on this humongous challenge by one gorgeous and very courageous little boy; shortly after Alfie was born in 2008, doctors told his parents that he had a rare genetic disorder, which meant he would need very special care and his life would be shortened. The team are riding to cheer on Alfie and all of the babies at our hospices.
The Zoë's Place Bear will be travelling with the cyclists as their mascot, as the team will call in to visit all three hospices in Coventry, Liverpool and Middlesborough.
Team to set off from Lands End: Monday 20 September
Estimated visit to Coventry hospice: Thursday 23 September
Estimated visit to Liverpool hospice: Friday 24 September
Estimated visit to Middlesborough hospice: Monday 27 September
If you would like to get involved in anyway with the event, from fundraising to hopping on board a tandem bike and racing the team down the Pennines, or just supporting the cyclists on one of the days then we would love to hear from you.
