Alexia and Sarah are taking on a whopping 125km ride - the Brighton 'Capel Monster' - on Saturday 30th June. It'll be the most either of us has ever cycled in a day. Why, you might ask, have we taken this on, when (for my part) I rarely even manage to motivate myself to ride the 8km to work these days?
We are raising money for the Holy Cross Hospital which provides highly specialised rehab for 40 people with extremely complex needs caused by profound injury or a serious neurological condition. The bike ride is being organised by family and friends of loved ones receiving care in this hospital to raise money for a walkway and viewing platform into the surrounding woodland so that patients will be able to enjoy the fresh air, sights, sounds and smells of the outdoors.
Engineers and other professionals have already committed their time to the project, and friends and families have been busy raising money towards materials. There’s just £10K left to raise.
When we heard about The Treehouse Project we really wanted to get involved and help the wonderful people who initiated it to make it happen.
We hope you'll feel the same! Every little helps, so thank you for any donation big or small.
We'd really encourage you to visit the main campaign page to read more about their story, and why the project is so invaluable: https://gogetfunding.com/the-treehouse-project/

Well, we made it, the whole 125km of the Brighton Capel Monster yday. It was a bigger challenge than we anticipated, especially in the heat and with a couple of monster hills at the start and end. Various um, body parts, a tad achy today but it was well worth it to be a part of helping The Treehouse Project get made. HUGE thanks to all who donated. 🤗 Signing off from my recovery position on the sofa X (these pics from possibly three of the sweetest moments of the day... reaching our lunch stop mid-way cerca 59km, sharing the worlds smallest slushie at 50km and a view of Brighton from the top of Devils Dyke aka the nasty hill you have to face at the end when you’re running on empty after cycling 120km)
