Welcome to Pilgrims Hospices Pilgrims Hospices is a charity providing specialist palliative care free of charge to people in east Kent. We care for people with illnesses that can not be cured including cancer, heart failure, respiratory conditions and neurological diseases. Care is provided from the three sites in Canterbury, Ashford and Thanet, in patients' homes and via community programmes. Support is also extended to families and carers. To keep delivering care to those that need it the most, Pilgrims has to raise £8 million each year. The majority of this comes from our local community, so fundraising is very important.

Richard Foster's Ride Across Britain
Hi, thanks for visiting my page.
I'm planning to cycle from John O'Groats to Lands End in June 2011. Its about a 1,000 miles and I hope to complete the challenge in 9 days. I've been training, but it won't be easy. Contrary to popular belief its not all down hill when you're cycling from top to bottom; in fact its generally considered tougher, as the prevailing winds are south westerly.
I'm supporting Pilgrims Hospices In East Kent and the British Paralympic Association.
