A MOTHER and son from Droitwich have teamed up to raise funds for a charity which helps sick children across the country.
As part of their fund-raising efforts, George Brown led a team of seven from Cold Clad Ltd in a 55-mile cycling challenge for Action Medical Research on September 23.
The ‘Taff Trail Challenge’ in Wales saw the intrepid cyclist successfully take on a mainly off-road trail from Brecon to Cardiff taking in a canal towpath, mountain roads and single-track trail.
The team has raised more than £800 so far for the children’s charity.
George said: “We had a great day and thoroughly enjoyed it.
“We’re delighted to have raised so much money for Action and are now planning our next charity ride.”
The 29-year-old decided to raise money for Action Medical Research after his mother, Judy, started up a local committee for the charity back in May with the first fund-raising event being held on November 18.
Judy said: “It’s a fascinating talk called ‘What The Officer Saw Next’ which promises to be an amusing insight into the Judicial Service seen through the eyes of an ex police officer and Magistrate
“The event will include a fish and chip supper and pudding, we’d love to see you there”.
The talk is being supported by Merchants and will be held at Hampton Lovett Village Hall from 7pm.
Tickets are £12.50, contact Judy via email [email protected] to book tickets or get involved with fundraising in the Droitwich area.
