MPs to cycle from London to Brighton for hospital fundraiser

Two MP’s  are taking on the London to Birghton cycle in september for a hospital fundraiser.

Dr Rosena Allin-Khan, Labour MP for Tooting, and Fleur Anderson, Labour MP for Putney are taking on the cycle challenge to raise money for the Time for a Change children’s appeal run by St George’s Hospital Charity.

The appeal is transforming Children’s Services and the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at the Tooting hospital and aims to raise £5million by 2024.

Ms Allin-Khan, said: “We’re so excited to meet this huge challenge of cycling all the way from Clapham down to the seafront in Brighton.

“We know that the staff at St George’s work tirelessly for their patients, and it’s fantastic that we have the opportunity to help fundraise for this transformation project.”

The London to Brighton cycle sees thousands of participants cycle 55 miles, either as part of fundraising teams or individually.

The MPs will be joined by over 70 fundraisers as part of Team St George’s, ranging from paediatric staff to porters and surgeons.

Ms Anderson, said: “This is not going to be easy, and it’s the furthest either of us have ever ridden, but we love a challenge, and raising money for St George’s Trust is such a great cause.”
