Cyclists raise £350 for charity
A group of cyclists raised more than £350 for charity by cycling from Wolverhampton to Bridgnorth and back.
Darren Richardson organised the event, which saw 10 cyclists ride for 24 miles for cancer charity Marie Curie on Sunday.
The 49-year-old from Penn Fields has been raising funds for the charity ever since his father Richard died after a cancer battle.
Darren said: "We've raised £350 but I'm still collecting money so I hope it'll make more than £400.
"Some people couldn't turn up because of family problems but we still had about 10 people ride.
"It was a nice day and a great bike ride.
"The scenery was nice on the way there, we could see cows and sheep in the fields, but it was a lot harder on the way back and took me five minutes longer.
"I really enjoyed it though.
"I'm going to raise as much money as I can for Marie Curie.
"My dad had cancer and he died in the hospital and the nurses helped him 24 hours a day, there were like angels.
"I'm doing some more fundraising outside Boots in Wolverhampton and I'm trying to arrange to do a charity skydive in July."
