Why should I cycle for Helen & Douglas House?
Your participation in Bike Oxford 2020 is going to make a real difference to local terminally ill children and their families. This year, it costs £3.6m to run our hospice and provide our outreach nursing service to help families at home and we cannot do this without your help.
