DONE IT!  It was very hard some days but great fun all days.  Now it is over and I am back at work (sadly).  Hard not to get up every morning at 7am to start cycling for eight hours from 8am.  Will miss the chance to eat what I like, and more of it.

Put on five pounds - thanks Discovery Adventure for facilitating this.

=======================================================

Percy’s Pals is a fund raising group under the umbrella of Southampton Hospital Charity. The group was formed by friends of Dr Richard Percival, who died in February 2013 aged 47 years from a stroke at The Wessex Neurological Intensive Treatment Unit (WNITU) at Southampton General Hospital.
 

The WNITU treats victims of stroke and brain injury from all over the south of England. Anyone suffering brain injury or stroke in the South of England is very likely to be treated there.

To allow faster diagnosis of emergency cases, Southampton General Hospital are aiming to raise £250000 to buy a portable CT scanner. Without this scanner the treatment of patients admitted to the WNITU could be delayed vital minutes, where the speed of treatment can be crucial to their survival and a successful recovery.
