‘Wheely’ Good
Start to Year for Claire House Children’s Hospice thanks to
Liverpool –Chester Bike Ride
THE annual
Liverpool Chester Liverpool Bike Ride, which is now in its 18th
year, has helped Claire House Hospice get off to a ‘wheely’ good
start to the year by selecting the popular charity as its official
charity partner! With an expected 3000 riders to take part in this
year’s event on the 3rd July, Claire House Children’s Hospice should
benefit greatly from the event run by Pennine Events, which sees
many riders doing it for charity as well as improving their health.
The biggest bike ride in Merseyside, the Liverpool-Chester-Liverpool
Bike Ride has seen approximately 25,000 people cycle one million
miles since it began. With exclusive use of the Queensway Tunnel
thanks to the support of Mersey Tunnels, 150,000 of these miles have
been ridden underground.
From there the riders then head out into the Wirral countryside. The
event is also supported by Liverpool Primary Care Trust.
Cyclists can choose from one of four different routes allowing the
whole family to get involved and raise money for charity!
► Liverpool Challenge: 90 mile challenging ride from Liverpool
through to Delamere Forest and back
► Liverpool Chester Liverpool: The classic 54 mile ride through to
the Countess of Chester Hospital before returning back to Liverpool
► Liverpool Chester: This sees the riders travel 30 miles from
Liverpool, through the Queensway tunnel and Wirral countryside to
finish in Chester
► Wirral Circular: A 25 mile round trip to the Wirral Rugby Club in
Thornton Hough and back
There is an Olympic connection between Pennine Events and Claire
House! Fitting Patron of Claire House is Paralympic silver medal
winning cyclist Rik Waddon, whilst many of the Olympic Cycling Team
such as Bradley Wiggins participate in some of the cycle races
Pennine Events organise.
Claire House Children’s Hospice, which is located in Bebington, on
the Wirral, currently helps over 160 families from across the North
West. In addition to caring for children and young adults, Claire
House focus on the needs of the whole family, providing bereavement
and other support for as long as it is needed. With no guaranteed
government funding Claire House have to raise £2.5 million a year a
staggering £200,000 per month to keep the doors open. They are
delighted and proud to be the beneficiary charity for the popular
Liverpool Chester Liverpool Bike Ride. |
