On Sunday 6th May eight members of staff at Waltham Forest College took part in a 20 mile fundraising bike ride. Braving the inclement weather conditions, they raised in excess of £200 which will be donated to Essex based The Little Haven Children’s Hospice.The hospice aims to provide support and care for children and their families who are affected by life-threatening illnesses. The hospice offers short-term respite care and specialist terminal care when the need arises, to children from Essex and outer London boroughs.
The team are now gearing up to take part in the National 60 mile London to Cambridge charity bike ride which will be taking place on Sunday 26 July. Funds raised will be donated to Breakthrough Breast Cancer, the UK's leading breast cancer charity.
This event will give participants the opportunity to cycle through beautiful countryside from Pickett's Lock, Lea Valley to the finish at Midsummer Common in Cambridge - a perfect place for friends and family to cheer you over the finish line. The route is fully signed with comfort breaks and marshalled to help you on your way.
Training sessions take place each Sunday so if you would like to take part in this event or simply wish to have some fun whilst getting fit contact Debbie Dennis 0208 601 8259.
Well done and Congratulations to all 20 mile bikers!!
