CONGRATULATIONS ELEANOR and THANK YOU!
More than 20,000 amateur cyclists finished the
Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 on Sunday 10 August 2014, cycling a
shortened route of 86 miles through heavy rain and wind from Queen
Elizabeth Olympic Park, out through the capital and into the Surrey
Hills before returning to a hero’s welcome on The Mall, St James’s Park.
Eleanor's Story
My darling husband Tom signed us both up for the RideLondon ballot
without telling me in a contrived attempt to get family clearance for
yet another one of his sporting endeavours. In the end I got a place and
he didn't and I was suddenly faced with the daunting task of riding 100
miles in a day. However, I'm never one to resist a challenge so one bike
purchase and a few months of painful early wake ups on Saturday mornings
later the big day is finally approaching. I am looking to raise money
for the Swaffham and Litcham Home Hospice which is an amazing little
charity in my local town in Norfolk that makes a massive difference
supporting local people who have a life-limiting or terminal illness and
their families. Whether it be accompanying people on hospital trips and
making home visits to bereavement support and classes put on for
terminal sufferers. My mother has been involved for more than 15 years,
and these small charities make a huge difference to local communities
and so I do hope you will help me in supporting their efforts to
continue this tremendous work.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Eleanor in this tremendous challenge.
