More than 500 cyclists took to the roads on Sunday 1 June to raise vital funds for our care.
The return of Big Wheel saw cyclists take on between 10 and 79 miles across Hampshire and Surrey countryside – raising more than £50,000 for the charity.
Families and friends gathered at Basingstoke War Memorial Park to show their support and enjoy the feel-good atmosphere, with ice creams, face painting, food, hot drinks and a bar – cheering on the cyclists as they returned from their challenge.
Becky Legate, Events Manager at St. Michael’s Hospice said: ‘After a 5-year break, Big Wheel returned at the weekend and it was a fantastic day! It was great to see more than 500 fundraisers take on the challenge. We had groups of friends and families of all ages taking part– everyone did so well and we couldn’t be more grateful for their support. We’d also like to say a huge thank you to the amazing volunteers and suppliers who helped us on the day, and to Finli who headline sponsored the event. It was great to see our community come together to raise vital funds for St. Michael’s and make this a real success.’
