TWO North Yorkshire men battled thunderstorms and strong winds to cycle 1,000 miles in one day in the name of charity.
Ian Harrington from Knaresborough and Joseph Fitzsimmons and Dan Paterson from Harrogate were part of the team, who work for property consultancy Eddisons, that are covering 5,000 miles this summer.
The colleagues are supporting a friend colleague who recently had a brain tumour removed and is now recovering successfully with the help of the charity.
The team rode through thunderstorms and strong winds to complete an 80-mile cycle ride from Scarborough to Knaresborough to help boost their total for the charity.
Mr Fitzsimmons, said: “As a bunch of colleagues we’re not all super fit but we’re committed to pushing ourselves and raising £5,000 to help fund the essential work and research carried out by the Brain Tumour Charity. We are now at £4,500 so the end is very much in sight.”
in 2020 the Eddisons team raised over £5,000 for Mind.
