Kunal Patel has organised his own rollerblading challenge to help raise funds for the St Luke's Hospice. Patel from Harrow will be skating from London to Brighton and back again. He will be starting this 100 mile challenge from Thursday 30th April- Friday 1st May 2015.
On speaking about why he chose to get involved with St Luke's Hospice, Kunal Patel expressed, “It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact time I became involved with St Luke’s as my mother had always supported the hospice since I was a boy. She brought me up to understand that St Luke’s plays an important role in our community in helping others. The hospice means a lot to me; the time has come for me to get involved and put my efforts into supporting the Hospice.”
Patel aims to put his best efforts into the rollerblading challenge and hopes the turnout will be good. “I don’t know how much I will raise but I know I would love to raise a lot. I always believe in trying our hardest to achieve what we put our minds to. Every path may have its ups and downs and expectations may be high, but at the end of the day our passion and love will give results.”
Kunal Patel also encourages people to get involved in organising events or challenges to raise funds for the hospice. He said, “You can’t go wrong with the ‘go for it’ principle. If you want to raise funds there are many ways to go about it and the right way will come to you. There is no harm in either trying something different or asking for support. You will not know the result unless you try.”
