The “Before” Pic
They did it! 200 miles in 3 days! We have so far raised over £2300 for Bristol Children’s Hospital. A pheomenal result. Very big congratulations to the team from Longlevens Chiropractic & Sports Injury Clinic, Gloucester. And exceptionally big thanks to all those of you who have sponsored us!!!
Well done Kate on achieving your Level 2 Fitness Instruction qualification! In her own words, Rehab at this clinic just got EVEN better.
This is a professionally recognized qualification that enables Kate to prescribe exercise inside or outside a gym environment. She completed detailed anatomy and physiology modules including principles of fitness and exercise, and received further training on how to put exercise programs together that best suit the needs and expectations of individuals working towards specific goals.
Within a rehab environment this enables her to accurately and specifically alter and adapt individuals’ programs if necessary, and to tailor rehab precisely to each person depending on their body’s response to the exercises.
“After injuring my back playing rugby, Simon helped clear things up quickly and got me back out on the pitch. His attention to detail, treatment skills and expertise in building an aftercare training program have made a real difference!”
It’s a 60 miler this weekend for the guys as they build up to their big Charity Cycle Challenge on 28th June. If you see them out and about please give them a wave!!!
Thank you all so much for helping me through the last weeks of my pregnancy – I couldn’t have done it without you!”
Whilst on holiday… “I was leaping about on cliff paths and up very steep hills like a mountain goat! Thanks for making that possible….”
Thank you so much for sorting me out yesterday. I’m still not entirely ‘right’ of course but I’m soooooo much better. I’ve just walked across the car park…then walked all round the supermarket for the weekly shop. I didn’t need to grit my teeth, or wonder if I was actually going to make, it at all!! Thank you Thank you Thank you.

The 30 mile practice route!
Kate West Cycling!
Saturday the 27th April at 8.30 am we were set to rendezvous at the Longlevens Chiropractic Clinic and set off on our 30 mile practice route in preparation for the big 200 miler at the end of June.
We were short a couple of people but Simon, Pat, Doddy, John, Russell and I made it and managed to set off at 9am. After a few miles through Gloucester we were on B roads out in the beautiful countryside going through Sandhurst and Norton. The route was mostly flat but a little windy at times, which did cause some difficulty on my part! I was also trying out my clipless pedals and shoes (thanks to Russell who fitted them for me!) for the first time but there were NO falls………I am extremely proud!
As we came to the outskirts of Tibberton, I hit my wall and had to sit down to have a sugary snack! …Yes the only girl on the ride and the ONLY one to need snack time!
Hartpury had the toughest hill but it was totally worth it for the downhill into Maisemore; it was stunning.
The last leg was back through Gloucester, past Kingsholm and into the Clinic car park…….feeling a little sore in areas!
It was a great ride and definitely helped prepare all of us for what is to come. We certainly need to keep up the training!
Bring on the 26th May for the 40 miler!!

Dear All,
He’s doing it again…! Two years on (yes really, already, two years on!) from his sponsored walk, which saw him walk the entire 102 mile Cotswold Way in three days, Simon et al are embarking upon their next sponsored adventure and challenge, in aid of Bristol Children’s Hospital. Having already walked the 3 peaks and completed the Cotswold Way, what, I hear you ask, could Simon possibly be organising next…?
I shall tell you. On 27th June Simon and his friends are cycling a 200 mile route around the Severn Basin that starts at Gloucester and takes them through Hay on Wye, the Brecon Beacons, Newport, Chepstow and back to Gloucester, IN 3 DAYS… Yes you did read that right – 200 miles in 3 days…! (Donations of spare doughnut cushions also gratefully received, in addition to sponsorship monies, by the way ….).
Why go to such great pains for Bristol Children’s Hospital? Because it saved our son’s life. In fact, both of our sons have received surgery there, but in particular we raise money every 2 years for Bristol Children’s Hospital to thank them for looking after Edward and saving his life with corrective open heart surgery when he was 6 months old. He’s doing really well right now, but Edward will need further corrective surgery in his teens, most likely in Bristol.
If you are fortunate enough never to have needed to set foot inside the place, then you might not realise what an important, crucial and life saving place it is, or that at the moment, Bristol Children’s Hospital’s Wallace and Gromit Appeal is saving money to buy pioneering equipment rivalling some of the best in the world, for their Children’s Cardiac Theatre, which we may well need one day.
Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal (http://www.grandappeal.org.uk) was established in 1995 and has since raised over £21 million to support a wide range of life-saving medical equipment, family accommodation, and patient comforts, along with a programme of arts, music, education and play facilities in the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.
The Grand Appeal is entirely independent from the NHS and receives no statutory funding, relying entirely on the generous support of the local community, businesses, grant-making trusts and other philanthropic organisations and individuals. We are proud to be a part of that. You can be too.
All you have to do is sponsor Simon and his friends on another one of his mad-cap ventures and sit back and watch….! Couldn’t be easier! It might even be mildly entertaining….. ! (More so for us than for them I daresay – although they always seem to enjoy themselves on these jaunts, despite the discomfort/pain/agony etc etc etc).
So please, help us continue to support Bristol Children’s Hospital to provide world-class care to patients from all over the South West and South Wales. Help us to help them save children’s lives, provide the best possible patient care and keep families together, by donating to The Grand Appeal via Simon’s sponsorship page: www.justgiving.com.longlevenschiro .
Do it now – while you think of it, and help us to motivate this very brave and selfless team.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
