I have to pledge to raise in excess of £500 but am hoping to raise nearer to £1000. I have already registered for £100 which will take care of the costs involved; accomodation, snacks etc.
All of the monies raised will therefore go directly towards the £500,000 needed to transform the Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre (BHOC). There are around another 30 people cycling so if you do the maths correctly this will be at least £15,000 towards there total target.
With your help they can:
- Transform the reception area to create a positive, bright and welcoming area for patients and visitors.
- Refurbish the Outpatients Department and increase the number of clinic rooms and quiet areas.
- Re-locate administrative facilities to create more space for patient support services and provide an information centre
- Develop an arts programme to provide a calming and relaxing environment throughout the building

Above and Beyond's CaRE Appeal
Chemotherapy & Radiotherapy Environment Appeal
With 1 in 3 people being diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetime, it is a disease which affects nearly all families. The Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre (BHOC) opened in 1971 and cares for over 6,500 individuals diagnosed with cancer every year, with up to 1,000 visitors passing through the Centre each day.
Above & Beyond’s CaRE Appeal has pledged £1.6 million to transform the patient and visitor experience at the BHOC. Donations to the centre over the years means that we have already secured £1.1 million of support, but we need to raise the remaining £500,00 by autumn 2010 to make the project a reality.
- Transform the reception area to create a positive, bright and welcoming area for patients and visitors.
- Refurbish the Outpatients Department and increase the number of clinic rooms and quiet areas.
- Re-locate administrative facilities to create more space for patient support services and provide an information centre
- Develop an arts programme to provide a calming and relaxing environment throughout the building
