Charity cyclist's £2,000 triumph
A CYCLIST from Wilsill has raised almost £2,000 for charity by completing a mammoth challenge.
Matthew Hick, 26, cycled 200 miles on June 26, completing 10 sets of the Great Milk (Stout) Ride in aid of two chosen charities, Prostate Cancer and Macmillan Cancer Support.
Money is still coming in, but he has already raised around 2,000, with the help of sponsors and a stall at the bottom of the Pateley Bridge High Street.
In total, 20 riders turned out to support him, completing the route in 15 hours and 20 minutes.
Mr Hick thanked the riders, especially Craig Jarret, for their support, and all those who stayed at the stall and provided moral support and encouragement.
"I wont be in a hurry to repeat it again, it was a once in a life time challenge," he said.
"But I hope to raise more money in the future through another epic event."
