THREE factory workers are setting out on a Coast-to-Coast cycle challenge this weekend to help make young childrens' dreams come true.

Mike Wigley, 62, Peter Blades, 41, and Kevin Stephenson, 46, who work for Kenmore UK, Crook, will cycle 130 miles to raise money for the Wish Foundations Charity.

Mr Wigley, who lives in Coundon, said: "I have seen the charity work first hand when they sent a little boy from Coundon and his parents to Disneyland Paris so we thought it would be good to support that.

"Kenmore is supporting us in every way and we are hoping to raise a few hundred pounds.''

The men set off from Workington on Saturday morning and will finish in Sunderland sometime on Monday.

Mr Wigley said: "This is something we have wanted to do for a long time so we decided to raise money for charity at the same time.''
