NM Finance Fundraising: 300 Mile Bike Challenge Smashes £5K!

NM Finance Fundraising for Priscilla Bacon Hospice

Last week two of our directors, Steve Jackson and Max Mace challenged themselves to a long distance bike ride in memory of James Henry, Steve’s friend who passed away in 2022 with terminal cancer. The pair rode 302 miles across the country, from Cadair Idris mountain in Wales to Wells-next-the-sea. These were James’ two favourite places in the world and Steve rode James’ bike in his memory.

Across 5 days, the pair travelled through the brutal hills of the Snowdonia national park, across the country through central England, while the sun shone on them. They pushed on through leg aches and cramps, across the Fens and finally into Norfolk to be met by family and friends. Steve and Max were hoping to raise half of our annual £10K target for the Priscilla Bacon Hospice, and we’re delighted to say they smashed that £5K mark!

Our total raised so far!

Some words from Steve:-

“Priscilla Bacon Hospice is a charity that is very close to our hearts at NM Finance. They provide outstanding palliative care for members of the Norfolk community and have been doing so for 40 years. A hospice exists to improve the lives of people who have a life-limiting or terminal illness.

Last year, one of my good friends, James Henry passed away from terminal cancer. He was 50yrs old and he left behind 6 children. I wanted to do something to help the charity in James’ memory and that is why in May this year, Max Mace (MD at NM Finance) and myself are cycling from North Wales to Wells-next-the-sea, two of James’ favourite places in the world. Neither of us are cyclists and I have decided to complete the journey on James’ bike-wish us luck. This is for you Jimbo!”

Steve Jackson, Director

About Priscilla Bacon Hospice

Priscilla Bacon Hospice is raising money to fund the new hospice being built for Norfolk and Waveney. They broke ground on the new site in February 2022, and have raised over £11m of their £12.5m target, but are still striving for the last funding, to get the hospice built as soon as possible. The new hospice will boast the most modern facilities and a wider range of services giving people with terminal or life-limiting illness a greater choice of care.
