I had a quick look on google maps....for childrens hospitals it throws up 5 or 6 that aren't too far apart...furthest being chelsea...totally doable.

I found cadburys chocolate buttons easter eggs cheap at tesco...stocks allowing.
childrens homes are a bit more spread out but some are still doable....hopefully someone who is better at directions/route planning could figure out a route to incorporate as many places as possible?

I'm up for doing this whenever if we can get it done. maybe even less people, doing it in the daytime, on days off....multiple trips to allow us to get to the places that are slightly further away?
Again, ideas welcome.
I'd really like to do this as i'm unable to see my own children this easter, so i can only imagine what it's like for children who never see, or don't have families...or those who have to spend the time in hospital.
The memorial ride showed what's possible if we all get involved...so i'm hoping this will work too.
cheers!
