THE NOOK APPEAL...
On your bake! Cyclists raise
hundreds of pounds for the
nook appeal.
A group of Norfolk cyclists have raised
£308.14 for the nook appeal by treating
themselves to cake.
The 53-11 Cycling Club was founded in
April 2014 and its members, of all ages
and abilities, are easy to spot as they
wear unmistakeable, bright pink jerseys.
The club leads social rides on three
evenings of the working week plus during
the day on Sundays.
The rides often include some sort of
café or pub stop, further promoting the
social aspect. Recently, cyclists have
been indulging in cakes baked by Sally
Eggleton, donating £1 to the nook appeal
for every slice.
Donations have, generously, been doubled by Ian Goody,
a member of 53-11 and also CEO of Premier Financial
Group that sponsors the club.
Cyclists handed over the money when they cycled to East
Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH), the charity behind
the nook appeal, in Quidenham.
Tim Jenkins, EACH Norfolk Community Fundraiser, said:
“How fantastic that these folks are doing something they
love, having a tasty treat along the way and managing
to support us in the process! We’ve around £1.6 million
left to raise of our £10 million nook appeal. The money
is funding the building of our brand new hospice in
Framingham Earl that will transform children’s palliative
care for Norfolk.”
The 53-11 Cycling Club has agreed to support the nook
appeal throughout 2019 when it hopes to raise double
what it has done this year.
