It was great to meet so many of the people involved in the day to day running and fund-raising for Acorn House. For those who don't know Acorn House is a home on the site of Addenbrookes hospital which provides 'home from home' accommodation for the families of seriously ill children. It is entirely run through voluntary donations and receives no government support.
Aside from demolishing most of the canapés on offer we talked to a lot of people about the cycle ride and received many pledges of support and sponsorship, as well as some good advice. The evening finished with a some short speeches including one from ourselves and one from Dr. Mary Archer, who does a great deal of work for Acorn House. The team are pictured with Mary below:
