Success stories from 2009

Ford Classic Car Tour, 2009

Jeff Jefferson, Glenn Jefferson and Brian Beetham undertook a 1,200 mile round Britain Tour in two restored Classic Ford Cars.  They travelled to York, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff and Bournemouth before returning back to Hastings, covering approximately 250 miles a day.  The three team members raised an amazing £2,249 frmo local businesses and individuals and are very grateful for all the support they have received.  Jeff said, 'We are really pleased to be able to help the Hospice, who do such excellent work, in this way and are looking forward to our next tour in 2010!'

Carlisle to Newquay Bike Ride

For the first 12 years of Miles East's life he was looked after by 'an incredible nanny' called Helen.  She sadly died in 2009 in the care of St Michael's Hospice.  Miles and his friends, Andy Smith, Lee McCann, Sam Hyde and James Hinchcliffe rode from Carlisle to Newquay in aid of the Hospice and raised a wonderful £2,500!  They said they had a very wet and windy 6 days, with 2 flat tyres, 3 knackered knees, 4 sore bottoms and 8 tired legs.
