Jeremy Hill and Vijay Kumar from Michael Hill Partnership recently took to their saddles to raise funds for LOROS.

The two man team took to the roads on Saturday 6th June, and cycled from Leicester clock tower to Skegness clock tower to complete their challenge.

Magdalena Korytkowska, Fundraising Co-ordinator at LOROS said: “Michael Hill Partnership are keen supporters of LOROS and Jeremy and Vijay completed this challenge to raise awareness and donations for the Hospice.

"They raised almost £500 each and their combined total could pay for the cost of one of our specialist nurses for a week and for two patients to attend our day therapy service - that is amazing!"

"It was no mean feat to cycle such a long way and we would like to thank both of them for their fantastic efforts on our behalf"

LOROS needs to raise £4.5 million pounds every year so that we can continue to provide free, high-quality, compassionate care and support to terminally ill adult patients, their family and carers.

If you would like to know how your Company can help us achieve this, please contact the fundraising department on (0116) 231 8431/2 or send us an email
