*** Update!! We made it, was a great experience!!! About the team and event: Team DD3 consists of Paul Hocking, Barry Smith and Greg Balmer. We cycled 300 miles from London to Paris over 4 days!!!!
We did this to raise money for Armitstead Child Development Centre. Based in Kings Cross Hospital Dundee, Armitstead looks after local children with varying levels of disability.
Although NHS funded, this funding generally only covers the running costs. Many of the children who attend Armitstead require some form of additional specialist equipment to enhance the quality of their life, to fund this equipment Armitstead rely on donations.
We are looking to raise as much money as possible to help bridge the funding gap and provide the required specialist equipment for the children. We have set a minimum target of £3750 and with your help we would love to raise in excess of £4000 for the centre.
Armitstead has personally touched many of our lives and the centre provides an invaluable support to local disabled children and their families. Needless to say the staff and children will be delighted with any donation you can make.
Thanks for taking the time to read our page.
If you are a UK tax payer please ‘tick’ the Gift Aid box and for every £1 received a further 28p will be donated to Armitstead at no additional cost to you.
Team DD3.
