Supporters of Andy Bagworth’s 115-mile cycle ride around London have helped him give almost £750 to Rethink Mental Illness.
Ditching his motorbike for pedal power, the Freemason member of the Free Wheelers Lodge took part in RideLondon alongside thousands of other cyclists.
He said: “I’d aimed to ride 100miles, but I actually cycled more than 115 miles on the day. It wasn’t easy, but I had trained hard for the event and was still able to walk OK on the Monday morning!
“I managed to raise a total of £635 and a further £103.25 through gift aid, which has now been donated to Rethink Mental illness – a charity which helps and supports an enormous number of people, who may be suffering from mental health issues.”
RideLondon is an annual festival of cycling. Intended as an annual legacy of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, it was first held in 2013. The format consists of a series of cycling events on closed roads around London and Essex for amateur and professional cyclists.
