THE marathon pedal power of a group of workers has provided a £2,500 boost for a women's charity.
The team of 13 cyclists from 3M Aycliffe covered 160 miles on a sponsored ride to raise money for Wear Valley Women's Aid.
The ride started in Berwick-upon-Tweed and ended at the company's Heighington Lane site, in Aycliffe. It is the fifth year in a row that the cyclists have taken to the road for a good cause. Organiser Paul Richardson said: "Each year we choose a different charity to support and so far have raised more than £12,000 in total."
Wear Valley Women's Aid provides a refuge for women and children across the district, with more than 400 women and 800 children staying there every year
