Couple saddle up and get set to cycle 60 miles for hospice

Bury St Edmunds couple, Maggie and Paul Kirk are saddling up and cycling 60 miles for St Nicholas Hospice Care this July.

The keen cyclists are taking part in the hospice’s fundraising cycle ride, The Edge, in memory of a special friend and neighbour Steff Evans, who sadly died of cancer this year.

Their inspiration to support a good cause was from Steff who touched many people’s lives with her compassion, kindness and determination to help others.

Maggie said: “On the day of Steff’s funeral we saw an advert for The Edge in the local newspaper and thought let’s do this. Steff was always fundraising and supporting charities such as the hospice, so this is our way of giving something back.”

The Edge, sponsored by Vindis Skoda Bury St Edmunds, takes place on July 14 and offers routes of 30, 60, or 100 miles. The ride starts and finishes at event partners, Maglia Rosso cycling café in Hawstead.

Registration for The Edge starts from £25 and is open to anyone over the age of 14. All riders will receive a free snood with their registration and medal at the finish.

Money raised from the event will go towards St Nicholas Hospice Care, a charity that supports people living with dying, death and grief in the West Suffolk and Thetford area.
