It is the aim of Great Oaks Hospice to offer care and support to adults with a life limiting illness.
💚 £3,190 Raised for Great Oaks Hospice – Thank You! 💚
Following the incredible success of Happy's Day Ride, it was a pleasure to welcome Gary Trigg, Cinderford RFC legend and one of the event organisers, along with Chris Tingle, Chairman of Drybrook RFC, to Great Oaks Hospice.
They were shown around the hospice and learned more about the specialist care and support that the money raised will help provide for local patients and their families.
Together, an incredible £3,190 was raised – a fantastic achievement that will make a real difference to people across the Forest of Dean.
A heartfelt thank you goes to everyone who took part, donated, volunteered, sponsored and supported the ride. Every mile cycled and every pound raised will help Great Oaks Hospice continue providing compassionate care when it matters most.
A special thank you also goes to Happy's family for allowing us to be part of such a meaningful day. It was a wonderful celebration of Andrew "Happy" Martin's life and a reminder of just how much he meant to so many people. We hope the day was a fitting tribute to a man whose friendship, generosity and spirit will never be forgotten.
Finally, thank you to the rugby clubs that came together to support this incredible event:
🏉 Cinderford RFC
🏉 Drybrook Rugby Football Club
🏉 Lydney RFC
🏉 Berry Hill RFC - Forest of Dean
This was far more than just a bike ride. It was a community united, friends riding side by side and the rugby family coming together to honour one of its own while raising vital funds for a cause that touches so many lives.
From everyone at Great Oaks Hospice... thank you.
Your support means more than words can say. 💚🚴
