We have chosen the following worthy
charities to support.
Isabel
Hospice
This is a charity providing care for patients and their families
living with cancer and other serious illnesses. The Hospice provides
a home care team, a Day Hospice for up to 60 patients a week,
a Family Support service, a 16 bed In-patient Hospice and a Bereavement
Service. A fully trained team of volunteers supports the specialist
medical staff in providing a warm, caring environment for patients
and their families. In addition, Community Nurse Specialists,
formerly known as MacMillan nurses, are available from the outset
to advise and care for patients and their families. Their services
are provided free and are always in need of additional funds.
We have a particular desire to help this charity as a member of
the team has been helped considerably by the hospice in the past.
This event will, in turn, help raise the awareness of the work
carried out by hospices across the country.
This is the Honda X8 moped
ready for our 40 hour Team Challenge.
Kindly Supplied By Honda Chiswick.
The moped will be auctioned at the end of the ride to raise
further funds for our nominated charities. |

Association for Spinal Injury
Research, Rehabilitation and Reintegration
ASPIRE works with people with spinal cord injuries to create
opportunity, choice and independence. There are more than 40,000
people in Britain with spinal cord injuries. 1200 people are injured
each year - more than 3 every day. 36.8% of injuries are following
road traffic accidents and 10.6% involve riders of motorcycles.
The ASPIRE National Training Centre is committed to full integration
between disabled and able-bodied people through sport and dance,
financial, information technology and career training assistance.
To promote autonomy, assist with housing and a Male Fertility
Research Project. Inpatients at the RNOH are welcome to use the
facilities of the ASPIRE National Training Centre free of charge.
The event would directly raise money for victims of motorcycle
injuries and assist ASPIRE to rebuild their lives.
I am respectfully asking for your support in this event in any
way you see fit. Predominantly we would prefer you to pledge money
to us for these charities or if this is not possible, perhaps
you can help by offering a significant and attractive prize for
the proposed post event Dinner and Dance on 19th March 2005 at
the Metropolitan Police Sports and Social Club, Chigwell, Essex,
where there will be a raffle or auction and we will hand over
the money raised to the charities.
It is proposed to inform all of the motorcycling press, local
papers, radio and television media to publicise this event both
before we set off and as it progresses through the country. We
would be happy to include your company’s name and logo in
any literature and on the moped showing you as supporters of this
worthy cause.
Please feel free to contact one of the team on 020 8733 4679 to
discuss your involvement in this challenging event.
