Five brave volunteers from Balhousie Luncarty Care Home, Luncarty will carry out a sponsored cycle ride of 115 miles, from Inverness to Perth on Saturday 27th September 2008 in aid of CHAS (Balhousie Care Group's nominated charity for 2008/09). The party, which includes Eveline Moyes (Care Home Manager), Sarah Pryde (Care Assistant), Aimee McGowan (Care Assistant), Janette Guild (Domestic Assistant) and Stuart Nelson (relative of a resident) will leave Inverness at 8.30am and aim to have arrived back in Perth for 8.30pm. Eveline and team are looking for as much support as possible both by way of sponsorship and friendly faces on their long journey. Family and friends will form a support group with two vehicles for the journey South. One vehicle will be donated by Apparelmaster and the other, a mini bus kindly donated by Thrifty.

Words of appreciation...

• The thing I most enjoy is the interaction with residents and family members. Being part of a team that delivers high quality care, often in the latter years of an individual's life, while trying to promote their independence is a big responsibility. I think it's hugely important to be able to make that time as easy and comfortable as possible. Manager, Balhousie Lisden Care Home
• What Balhousie Care staff did was beyond the call of duty and we appreciate the work that made Mum's birthday special, even though we had to help her with the blowing out of the candles! Daughter of Resident at Balhousie North Inch Care Home
