A FUND raising bike ride by 34 riders from the Redditch Escargots Cycling Collective together covered an amazing 2,418 miles bringing in more than £2,500 for local children’s charity the Oakland Foundation.
Taking to the roads early on Saturday, September 2, the Snails’ challenge involved three set routes in and around Redditch, with the day seeing them cycling up to, and in some cases morre than 100 miles.
Oakland Foundation Trustee Luke Attwell, said: “This is an amazing achievement and a fantastic result – well done and thank you to everyone who supported the members of the Redditch Escargots Cycling Club.
“All proceeds will go to support and provide educational programmes for children living in the Redditch area.”
The Oakland Foundation works with children, young people and their families living in the Redditch and Bromsgrove area, by providing activities and educational projects based on health and nutrition, education and sport.
