WE DID IT!!

The DK2UK Moller Centre cycle team made it home yesterday after our 700 mile bike challenge through Northern Europe. Thank you to everyone who has supported us and donated to our £10K target for EACH. You can still keep donating as we need just over £1K to hit the target.

Final leg in Holland

A well earned rest

We rest today in Amsterdam which is much needed. We will have a lazy day and go and walk around some of the city and sights.
We shall all be supporting Holland tonight as they play Portugal in the Euro 2012 football Championships.

Tomorrow we cycle to the Hook of Holland and to our overnight ferry. Our
journey is almost complete.

The longest road in Europe!

We made it to Amsterdam !

Hi all,

Day 8 and we made it to Amsterdam. The head wind was pretty much all the way so this was the hardest day so far. We enjoy a rest day tomorrow and a well earned rest.

The journey so far has been epic and we have pushed ourselves to the limit. After tomorrow only 2 more cycle days to go to complete the DK2UK cycle challenge.

DK2UK update

Hi all

Day 7.. On our way to Meppel in Holland today, this will be 2 countries complete with 2 more to go. We have cycled some 430 miles so far. The endurance is challenging but we are working together to get to our end destination each day. Thank you all for your ongoing support. We have stayed in some beautiful surroundings with wonderful hosts. The German countryside is very pretty and the biking through woods is certainly our highlight...

Copenhagen to Cambridge Charity Cycle Ride

As part of The Møller Centre's 20th Anniversary a team of 4 staff will attempt to cycle 700 miles from Copenhagen to Cambridge.

The team will set off on the 1st June hoping to raise over £10,000 for East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH).

The team, consists of:
Mark "who talked me into this" Carberry (Head of Sales & Marketing)

Stefan "routemaster" Mitham (Key Account Manager)

Mark "the dart" Campbell (Guest Services Manager)

Mike "the trike" Herriot (Technical Services Assistant)

The Moller Centre will also host a charity raffle on Wednesday 23rd May to help raise money towards the campaign. Anyone wishing to donate items/gifts/experinces should contact: jessica.edwards@chu.cam.ac.uk

The Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller Centre for Continuing Education was built with a gift to Churchill College, Cambridge.  The money was donated by the A.P. Møller & Chastine Mc-Kinney Møller Foundation, a Danish institution, set up in 1953 by shipping magnate A. P. Møller.  The Foundation makes contributions to good causes, especially those involving national heritage, shipping, industry and science..........hence the reason we are setting off from Copenhagen!!!

Plans!

Booked our accommodation in Vordingborg, Denmark in a Danhostel for our 1st night 1st June and in Eutin , Germany for our 2nd night on the 2nd June.

The mapping is coming on well, pretty much covered 250 miles from Copenhagen to Hamburg....

We provide care and support wherever the family wishes – in families’ own homes, in hospital or at one of our hospices

• £10 Allows our Chef to prepare and cook meals for all family members staying at the hospice
• £20 Essential care kit for our nurses to use when providing care in the family home. 
• £74 Two hours of bereavement support for all family members 
• £148 Four hours of care at end of life 
• £296 Eight hours of short break care
• £591 A children’s palliative care nurse for a week
