A huge congratulations to 16 year old Carrick Blake who cycled from Cambridge to Cardiff on Saturday.

His mum, Helen, said : "What a fantastic day Carrick had on Saturday. Everything went to plan and no punctures, which I’m very grateful for!"

"Carrick did brilliantly and managed to finish the ride at 2 minutes past midnight so whilst it wasn’t on the same day he set off, he managed the cycle in a 24 hr period."

Carrick's JustGiving page has just topped £1000 and the Blake family said: "It is so amazing to think this money can be used to alleviate someone’s suffering, in some small way."

A huge well done to Carrick and his support team! And here is his JustGiving page if you would like to support his efforts.
