Charity Ride: Cobble Monster

For several years this has been a favourite fun ride in London that is similar in landscape to the Paris-Roubaix and Tour of Flanders, such as lung-bursting steep hills and bone-shaking cobblestones plus great camaraderie with the participants. This ride can be done on any bike at your own pace. Still, the limited event registration places go fast... http://cobblemonster.com
Although this is a cycle ride, many participants will walk up the steep hills and feel free to spectate and cheer en route.

Children designed the Evelina, ensuring every little patient feels as good as possible. The unique ingredients at the Evelina are the creatively themed floors, multi-sensory experiences, art workshops and music, and no ‘hospital smell’. Treating over 100,000 children a year, the Evelina has 140 in-patient beds, including 20 intensive care beds; over 50 neonatal/special care baby cot spaces of varying degrees of dependency; 5 dedicated operating theatres; one of only three hospital radio stations in the UK; a hospital school and a comprehensive imaging service for diagnosis and treatment, so this is no ordinary children’s hospital. By raising money for the Evelina Children’s Hospital at Guy’s and St. Thomas’, you can make an incredible difference in the lives of hundreds of young patients every year. £1000 could purchase special gifts for children staying in the hospital over Christmas. £2000 could help pay for baby ‘nests’ to keep 20 premature babies comfortable in their cots. £3000 could support our performing arts programme to allow young patients to relax and be entertained. £4000 could provide a mobile sensory unit to stimulate, develop, and deliver re-adjustment for children from surgery, special needs, or bed-bound. £5000 could help pay for a team of kidney transplant patients to compete for the Evelina in the national transplant games £6000 could go towards the cost of a special care incubator. There’s no arguing that The Evelina Children’s Hospital is a vital resource - all proceeds from The Cobble Monster (formerly the London Classic) contribute towards providing these services to help young patients.
