Charity
The Sick Children's Trust provides 'Home from Home' accommodation for the families of sick children whilst they receive vital medical treatment in hospital often far from home. Families are able to stay together close to their child and offer each other essential support during a difficult and distressing time.

Matt's London to Paris Bike Ride 2010
Hi, thanks for visiting my page. I'm doing this as I want to raise some money for The Sick Children's Trust and it will hopefully prove to be a hard but fun challenge. A fantastic charity that has benefited my family in the past by helping us (me, my wife Suki, daughter Emily and son Ben) to all be together on several of Emily's difficult stays in hospital. Thankfully Emily is now really well but we haven't forgotten how difficult it is having your child seriously ill in hospital. Having met other families in person and knowing there are many others going through it now and in the future, I hope I can make a small contribution to the SCT's great work.
Right where's that bike and where can I fit the motor for the hills and paddles for crossing the Channell!!!!!
Please donate and massive thanks for your support!!
Thanks to St Neots Rowing Club and St Neots Tennis Club without whom I might struggle to even get to the start line!!
Update July 2010
Thanks to everyone who has supported me and the SCT so far - great effort! Extra special thanks to friends at ST NEOTS TENNIS CLUB for a great quiz night, Dave and all at BENNETT AND SANDERS estate agents and the pupils and staff at PRIORY JUNIOR SCHOOL - THANKS!!!! Keep the donations coming..........
43 days to go - training going ok, first bib shorts successful...........
