In May 2017, Dr Sunil Grover and his friend Dr Kini took the challenge of cycling from John O'Groats to Lands End, a distance of 1000 miles in just 10 days. The ride was to raise the much needed funds for the ICU project at JSS Bilaspur, which is actively supported by the Friends of JSS in UK. Against all odds and inclement weather, he completed this arduous journey in an almost planned time. His adventure was widely supported by the friends of JSS in UK and a grand sum of £10,000 was raised for this noble cause. We congratulate Dr Grover for his extra-ordinary efforts and hope future will see many more friends partaking in such fund raising events.
