COUSINS Olivia Stanbury and Ruby Marsden are doing a static cycle ride in Minehead’s Tesco store to support the Children’s Hospice South West on Saturday (September 24).

The girls will be taking it turns to cycle 50 miles, with each one aiming for 25 miles, and hope to raise over £400 for the hospice.

Olivia’s father, Josh Stanbury said: “When Olivia heard that it was 25 years since Children’s Hospice South West was founded, she wanted to do something to support its work and the idea of a static cycle was born.”

The hospice was founded in 1991 by Eddie Farwell and his late wife Jill following their own experiences of caring for two life-limited children.

The charity now has three hospices – in Devon, Cornwall and Somerset – caring for over 450 children and their families.
