Enfield Clubhouse - life support for recovery from mental illness
Gunsel cycles 60 miles and raises £430 ...
Our thanks, and congratulations to Gunsel on completing the London to Cambridge sponsored bike ride on 26th July. Well done! And thank you to all who sponsored Gunsel. She is currently collecting the money. Please contact her (0208 366 6660) if you have sponsored her and need to 'pay your dues'!
On the day, the weather was perfect for cycling - cool, dry and not too windy. The event was organised by Breakthrough Breast Cancer charity, and more than 3,500 people took part. Gunsel choose to do this event in order to support two charities that she feels passionate about - Breakthrough, which received her regsitration fee, and Enfield Clubhouse, which is receiving the sponsorship money.

Gunsel set out from Picketts Lock at 9.15 am, with a group from the Edmonton Cycling Club. They reached Cambridge at 3.30 pm, having 4 comfort breaks along the way. Gunsel has told me that the last 10 miles were 'really fun' - I find this hard to believe. It is a good job we are all different - some of us have fun watching tv, but for Gunsel cycling miles 50 to 60 provided this! This part of the route is flat, and she was spurred on by the signs every mile, counting down the miles that were left! Every 5-10 minutes she passed another sign, this provided her with the encouragement she needed.
By cycling the 60 miles and collecting lots of sponsors, Gunsel has raised about £430. Very well done Gunsel! All of us at Enfield Clubhouse say a big 'Thank you very much!'. The money is to be spent on catering equipment for our Catering Service.

Could you help raise funds?
Could you do a sponsored swim, or walk, or bike ride, or maybe something even more adventurous?
If you would like to do a sponsored event to raise much needed funds for Clubhouse we would be pleased to hear from you.
It would be good to meet you, so as to identify ways in which we could support you in this. Please contact David Marsden on 020 8360 6660.
