TEAM DUCHY 10 + ALFIE

The new year will deliver a big challenge to 10 volunteers taking part in the 205-mile charity bike ride from St Austell to Barnstaple .

The ambitious bike ride is called Ride for Precious Lives 2017 and all cyclists are taking part in memory of one-year-old Alfie Ezra Sanders . The love and care given to him by family and friends was received in equal measure by the staff of Little Bridge House in Barnstaple , one of a number of Children ’ s Hospice South West ' s facilities across the region , not only when he was alive but supporting the family through and beyond his death . The cycling team is made up of The Duchy of Cornwall staff and friends including Keith and Michelle Sanders , David , Greg and Christine Walsh , Peter James , Ben Murphy , Heather Bayston , Bob Brady and Celebrating Poundbury ’ s Editor Miriam Phillips .

The team needs to raise £ 10,000 for Children ’ s Hospice South West so if you can donate please visit the Virgin Money fundraising page at http :// bit . ly / Duchy10
