A senior nurse from NHS Norfolk and Waveney is preparing to cycle 350 miles from London to Paris to raise money for charity.
Jane Black, Designated Nurse For Safeguarding Children, begins her bike ride on June 13th and is due to arrive in Paris on June 17th 2012.
She will be raising funds for the Break charity.
“A friend of mine is taking part in the event for a different charity and asked if I would like to join in,” Jane said.
“I’m training by cycling to and from work and riding my bike as much as I can.
“I decided to raise money for Break as I have had contact with the charity through my work. I have seen what a valuable service they provide to children and young people.”
Jane, 57, who lives in Beccles, works closely with GPs, hospitals, community services and mental health trusts across NHS Norfolk and Waveney’s area, to ensure that the needs of children are paramount.
She also works in an advisory/consultancy capacity with other health and social care professionals, promoting best practice.
Break has been helping vulnerable people in the local community for more than 40 years.
Michael Rooney, Head of Fundraising for Break, said: “We would like to thank Jane for choosing Break for this great challenge and wish her all the best with her training and for the 350 mile cycle in June.”
