Freestyle Pedal Power
Two team members from Freestyle cycled from Annesley to Skegness on Saturday 4 July – a total of 82 miles to help raise funds for Hayward House. Creative Director Tim Phillips and Account Director Richard Elliott set off at 6.30am and took a total of 6 hrs 30 mins to reach their destination.
Richard and Tim joined 60 others to raise funds for Hayward House Hospice. Hayward House is a Palliative Cancer Care Unit, a "hospice within a hospital". It is dedicated to relieving the suffering of progressive cancer which can be physical, emotional, social or spiritual, and involves both the patients and the family. Patients with motor neurone disease and their families also receive support from the Unit.
Tim comments, "The first 55 miles seemed to go by quite effortlessly, but the last ten miles were really tough - a head wind didn’t help as we neared the coast, but we made it and it was a great experience and a great day. The organisers of the bike ride are hoping to raise £5,000 in total. Individual donations already total £2,000 and E.ON will match the funding, so there is just £500 to go. All donations are greatly appreciated and anyone can help by visiting http://www.justgiving.com/haywardhouseskegnessbikeride/ whatever they can afford. Every pound will help this very worthwhile cause".
