FOUR teenage cyclists raised £370 for the Butterwick Hospice at Bishop Auckland by completing the testing Coast to Coast route from Whitehaven, in Cumbria, to Sunderland.
William Dobson, Philip Forster, Gareth Ross and David Stainthorpe, who are all 15 and attend Windlestone hall School, near Rushyford, were accompanied by three members of staff on their 145-mile marathon.
Headteacher Peter Johnson said: "These boys will remember their achievement for a long time to come.
"I am very proud of them."
Hospice fundraiser Sylvia Stoneham said: "I'm delighted to receive this donation of £370, particularly as it was raised in such a strenuous way."
