Commenting on his cycling challenge, Chris said: “I work for Raystede, but that for me that is not enough, that's why I am taking on this challenge, to do just a little bit more. I see daily the work that the charity does for all the animals it cares for, and as a keen cyclist, I wanted to challenge myself and hopefully raise some money in the process!”
Chris's bike ride will be unsupported, and he will be carrying all the necessary gear for camping and cooking in four panniers plus a top bag. With no set route up to Scotland, he will work his way East and North on minor roads and cycle tracks, resupplying before setting up camp each night.
Wendy Bardsley, Head of Fundraising at Raystede said: “It’s fantastic that Chris has set himself this amazing challenge all in aid of Raystede. As a charity, we are entirely reliant on donations and support from our animal loving community and Chris’s fundraising target of £1,500 could cover the care cost to look after one of our rabbits or small animals for a whole year.
“We wish him the very best of luck on his bike ride and we are looking forward to reading more about his progress as he makes his way all the way up to John O’Groats – he’s definitely an animal hero!”
