A team of 13 cyclists have helped Chester & District Housing Trust (CDHT) raised over £3,200 for charity by cycling coast to coast from Workington on the West to Tynemouth on the East, totaling a hefty 147 miles.
The challenge was split over three days consisting of one day of 47 miles, another of 56 miles and then the final day of 44 miles. The route also involved passing through the Lake District and the Pennines. Participates have already paid a visit to the Claire House Children’s Hospice, the charity which will benefit from the funds raised from this expedition. During their visit they were given a tour around the hospice, as well as shown how their funding raising will benefit its residents.
CDHT are also organising a charity quiz at Chester Football Club in the next coming weeks, where the Claire House Children’s Hospice will be presented with a cheque from the fundraising.
