The home has organised a number of activities to help raise money to support Wayne, they are hugely proud of him for taking part.

Regional Director, Wayne Hughes, comments: “It is going to be a long old day in the saddle but I’m really excited to take part and I’m hoping to raise lots of money for the Foundation. I know all the staff, residents, relatives and visitors are behind me and that they’ll be cheering me on come May 28th – it is their support that will keep me going and get me across the finish line.”
