PROPERTY company staff raised almost £3,500 for the fight against cancer using pedal power.
Nine employees of UK Land Estates, in Gateshead, raised the money for the Marie Curie Cancer Care at Elswick, Newcastle, by cycling 188 miles from Edinburgh to Tynemouth.
The charity provides free nursing to give terminally ill people the choice of dying at home supported by their families.
Michael Spriggs, managing director of UK Land Estates, who was among the riders, said: "We were delighted to support our staff in such a worthwhile event.
"They trained extremely hard for three months prior to the ride and raised a lot of money for a very worthwhile charity."
