GREAT ORMOND STREET HOSPITAL

This is part of a new event to be held on the weekend of 3 and 4 August 2013.  It has been created in the wake of the London Olympics and there is an event suitable for all abilities. 

Ride 100 is a 100 mile cycle ride through the streets of London and the Surrey countryside.  It follows most of the route taken by the Olympic athletes taking part in the road race last Summer.  The ride will start in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and finish on the Mall.

I will be raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital.

This is my Granddaughter Halette, Hallie for short.  She is the reason I am raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital.  Halette was born with Sturge Weber Syndrome, a rare condition, undetectable in the womb which accompanies a port wine stain on the face.  The only specialist clinic for this syndrome is at Great Ormond Street Hospital and Halette will be visiting on a regular basis. The syndrome can cause seizures, brain damage and glaucoma amongst other neurological problems.  Halette is already taking medication for seizures which she will have to continue to take.  She and others like her have to have laser treatment which can be very painful.  Hallie is a happy smiley baby and she brings great joy to all the family.  Please support Great Ormond Street by visiting my Just Giving page at  justgiving.com/David-Needham1.
