Our Tour De 4 Fundraiser to Fight Cancer

Want to join us in supporting a good cause? We’re raising money for WISHH Charity and your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate a lot or a little. Anything helps. Thank you for your support.

WISHH is an independent charitable trust through which your kind donations will be coordinated, managed and then applied across the facilities, services and equipment at Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital, for the benefit of patients and visitors alike.

We have chosen for these funds to be directed to the Queens Centre at Castle Hill Hospital; a dedicated cancer unit devoted to high quality care, cutting edge research and along with other cancer hubs, helps lead the way in the battle against many types of cancer.

The four of us (John, Alan, Oliver & Ella) will be cycling 56 miles (the Tour de 4 ‘red’ ride) on September 7th in Glasgow, along with hundreds of others raising awareness and vital funds for similar causes.

Stomach cancer struck Dad (John) out of the blue in Sept 2023. It's been a wee bit tough! After several major operations, a long hospital residence, with months of chemotherapy, countless scans & many other scopes and pokes, he’s still battling on. Like Sir Chris Hoy, it's a stage 4 affair. When Sir Chris set up the event it was like he threw down the Gauntlet for Dad. Challenge accepted, Sir Chris!

So this is our quest to give back! To do our bit and help ensure others can be well looked after and benefit from improvements in cancer care. Also, for Dad’s own wellbeing, to keep him out riding, as he’s always loved to do, and help keep the life spirit firmly in his sights.

Your donations are very much appreciated.

John, Alan, Oliver & Ella Shepherd.
