Safedigging complete Tour de Bristol Raising Money for St Peters Hospice

Jeff and Steve from Safedigging, Alan Page, Alan Parslow, Sean Honeywell and Richard Bell took part in the ""Tour De Bristol"" on Saturday 2nd April, raising money for St Peters Hospice.

So far £795 has been raised through sponsorship, with £290 of that through Jeff's justgivingpage and the rest via sponsorship forms, this means with GiftAid added, where St Peters Hospice can claim an additional 25% through the Government, the total raised up to this point by the Safedigging team is £999.75.

It was brilliant day, with the sun was shining and a great atmosphere as we pedalled our way around North Somerset and on through the Mendips before making our way back to Bristol with great support all the way. On a very sad note, there was a serious incident along the route on Saturday when one of the riders tragically suffered a fatal heart attack. Our thoughts and sympathies are with his family and friends at this difficult time.

St Peter's Hospice is a registered charity and Bristol's ONLY hospice caring for adults with life-limiting illnesses. They do fantastic work and are committed to improving the quality of life of patients while extending care and support to their families and loved ones. So please, if you can, show your support and help raise some much needed funds.

You can donate via Jeff's "Just Giving" page by clicking here

JustGiving sends your donation straight to St Peter's Hospice and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you are a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more.
