Reigate planning expert cycles 1,000 miles for children's charity
11:50am Tuesday 23rd August 2011 in Local News
A Reigate planning consultant has cycled 1,000 miles unsupported between mainland Britain’s furthest points for a national children's charity.
Keen cyclist Julian Sharpe, 27, undertook the personal challenge in June, cycling from Scotland to Cornwall.
He pedalled all the way from Britain’s furthest point north at Dunnet’s Head, Scotland, to the furthest point south at Lizard Point, Cornwall.
The gruelling journey took him about two weeks but saw him raise £200 for The Children’s Trust in Tadworth.
Julian, a planning consultant from WS Planning and Architecture in Reigate, and who lives in Banstead, said: “Having always lived in the local area, I was very aware of The Children’s Trust and its work to help children with multiple disabilities, so I am delighted to have been able to raise money for such a worthy cause.”
He said: “I would like to thank my family, friends and work colleagues who sponsored me.”
The Children’s Trust provides care, education and therapy for children with multiple disabilities and complex health needs, and rehabilitation to children with an acquired brain injury.
