Congratulations to Richard Trick, our Crediton Store manager, and brother Michael who completed the mammoth cycle from John O'Groats to Land's End in aid of Cancer Research. They chose the Cancer Research Charity following the death of a friend's mother. Starting on July 14th they completed the 908 miles in just over 10 days, nearly 4 days ahead of schedule. Their trip was gruelling in parts, Michael injuring himself on the first day and having to cycle through flood water up to their waists when they reached Tewkesbury. The total of the cheque finally handed over to Cancer Research was £5163.96 |
