On 17th March the team at Ryder & Dutton in Halifax took part in a ‘Pedalling on St. Patrick’s Day’ bikeathon, an exercise bike challenge to raise money for Overgate Hospice in Elland, one of the local hospices they support.

They took turns at completing a shift on the exercise bike from 9am until 5pm without breaks, and set out to raise £250 via their Just Giving page and from raffle ticket sales to win an Easter Hamper, a day’s Aqua Zorbing and a bottle of Prosecco. Thanks to the generosity of everyone that donated they exceeded their target of £250 and the donations currently stand at over £650.00. Ryder & Dutton Estate Agents is a proud supporter of Overgate Hospice and the work they do.

Overgate Hospice was founded in 1981 and provides specialist palliative care for adults who suffer from progressive, life limiting illnesses.

How the donations can help: £20 would buy an inflatable ball for the patients to use in their physiotherapy session. £30 would buy a bird table to attract wildlife to the gardens. Every penny adds up and can make the world of difference. www.justgiving.com/ Ryderanddutton
