Coast-to-coast ride raises vital hospice funds

A group of Treetops Hospice supporters have completed a coast-to-coast cycling route, raising thousands of pounds for the end-of-life charity.

The group of 10, which included Treetops’ chief executive John Knight and long-standing trustee Yvonne Hobday, completed the iconic 172-mile Way of the Roses route, raising nearly £7,000.

The multi-day challenge saw them ride from Morecambe, Lancashire, to Bridlington, Yorkshire.

John Knight said: “It was a fantastic weekend spent sharing a demanding journey with a brilliant group of people, all while raising considerable funds for Treetops.

“There were certainly some challenging parts of the ride but knowing that every mile helps us provide vital end-of-life care, bereavement support and wellbeing services for local people kept us all going.

“Thank you to everyone who donated, encouraged the riders and followed our journey.”
