An evening with Mike Coulter
An evening with Mike Coulter, cycling across
America for compassionate care
Join us for a powerful and entertaining evening as local fundraiser and adventurer Mike Coulter shares the story of his epic self supported cycle ride across America — all to raise funds for Dr Kershaw’s Hospice.
In Summer 2025, Mike took on the Trans America Challenge, cycling 3,400 miles from Portland to Washington DC. Along the way, he crossed the Rockies, battled extreme weather, and experienced the kindness of strangers — all in memory of his wife and to support hospice care for others in need.
This special event will feature:
🎤 Mike Coulter – telling the story of his journey with honesty, humour, and heart
🎶 Live performance from Soul Provider – a fantastic 10-piece band bringing classic soul and Motown tunes
🎙️ An engaging Event Host, Ian Taylor – guiding the night and bringing it all together
🎟️ Raffle and auction – with brilliant prizes to be won
Tickets are £25 per person including supper and a welcome drink, with all profits supporting patient care at Dr Kershaw’s Hospice.
Well I did it – I only went and cycled across a continent! I’m still feeling slightly emotional and overwhelmed by the whole experience. I haven’t yet decided whether to plan another challenge or put a garage full of bikes on Ebay!
