TJ Motorsport, based in Besthorpe, near Attleborough, will be staging their second fundraiser at Snetterton circuit in aid of East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH).

Their first event in May saw 368 riders raise an impressive £4,200 for EACH's £10m nook appeal, which will see a new hospice built in Framingham Earl.

Now Trevor Griffiths, founder of the company, said that he hopes they can welcome at least 500 cyclists to the second race on Friday, August 28.

Mr Griffiths said: 'We had so much positive feedback from the last race that we thought we would do another one.

'It was good fun and we didn't expect to raise so much, so hopefully we can top that this year.'

So far they have already raised £375 on their online donation page.

Riders are asked to bring a minimum donation of £10 for the appeal to take part in the race.

The event runs from 5.30pm and will last about two and a half hours.

Mr Griffiths said that all abilities are welcome but that helmets are an essential.

EACH support children and young people with life-threatening conditions, and provides care for their families.

Their base is at their facility in Quidenham, which they say is outdated and too small.

The new hospice would include a large care area, seven bedrooms and three en-suite family accommodation rooms.
