THE chief executive of a charity has completed a 200-mile cycle challenge to raise awareness of the organisation's work.

Steve Twynham, of Victim Support, cycled to all of the charity's offices in North Yorkshire.

He finished at York Crown Court, where he was welcomed by staff from Victim Support and the court.

Also outside to meet him was Judge Paul Hoffman, who congratulated him on his achievement.

Mr Twynham said: "It has increased the awareness of the work we do in the county and it has raised vital funds to support our work."

Donations and sponsorship are still being collected, so the final total raised is not yet known.
