Colin Marsh takes on 100 mile cycling challenge
On Sunday 26th May, Colin Marsh, Head of Maintenance at Henford House care home in Wiltshire, will take part in the gruelling Ride 100 cycle race across London and Essex to raise money for Barchester’s Charitable Foundation.
Colin is a keen cyclist but admits it has been a while since he took on a challenge this big! He will be using pedal power plus sheer grit and determination to complete the 100 mile cycle race from Victoria Embankment, across London and out to Essex, and then back to the finish line at Tower Bridge.
One very long walk!

Westergate House Care Home in Fontwell, West Sussex are currently completing a mammoth charity walk of 682 miles or 13,640 laps of their track. This equates to the distance between Westergate House and Pentland View Care Home on the north Scottish coast, which is the Barchester home furthest away from them.
The staff and residents at Westergate House are raising money for Barchester's Charitable Foundation and a local dementia charity called Sage House.
