On your bike for the Hospice

Springhill Hospice

Springhill Hospice has announced one of its most exciting and adventurous fundraising challenges to date. They have invited the world’s biggest bike to come to Rochdale on Sunday 6 November.

The distinctive bike is known as “Junior”, has seats for 15 people and is piloted by a professional driver. It cruises at a speed of approximately 15 miles per hour and is powered by 16 individual gears. The machine also comes with its very own sound system so riders can play cheerful tunes to sing along to during the journey!
    
The bike has been used to raise funds for various charities over the years and has been ridden by many high profile characters including members of the Emmerdale and Fame Academy cast.

The Fundraisers at Springhill Hospice have gathered together five teams of 15, from various companies and organisations around Rochdale. Each individual team member has a minimum of £50 to raise through sponsorship before the event and the combined team to raise the most funds will win the Springhill Sponsored Spokes Competition.

The teams are Springhill Hospice staff, Woodside Medical Centre, Middleton Fitness First, the Waggon Inn Loonies and the Litten Tree of Rochdale who have offered to host the event within their premises. The pub will be decked out in a ‘School Reunion’ theme and bar staff will be in full fancy dress. The dance floor will be converted into a playground with activities such as ‘Hopscotch’ and the bar will become a ‘tuck shop’ with sweets for the children.
