On the 26th September 2009 Megan Bibby and Duncan Haste (pictured left), together with Chris Sherrington, are going to participate in a 50 mile cycle ride.

They start on the seafront at Hove and ride along the South Coast to Newhaven before following the River Ouse northwards to Glyndebourne�s famous opera house. They then turn west to Hurstpierpoint and skirt the �Devil�s Dyke� before returning to the finish at Hove.

The ride is to raise funds for St Barnabas Hospice, Worthing in memory of a dear friend Caroline Leigh.

Caroline died at the young age of 40, having had a year battling with cancer.

A small donation is all we ask so that the hospice can continue to help other people and their families in the way they looked after our dear Caroline. Please click the link below to read more - and to donate.
