A HUSBAND and wife teaching team are gearing up to pedal 2,000km to raise money to help handicapped children in the North-East.
Jim and Maria Frazer, from South Shields, will cycle from the North-East to Portsmouth, then cross the Channel by ferry, before riding across France to Lourdes.
The couple, of Bamburgh Avenue, aim to complete the route as part of a major sponsorship project to raise £2,000 for the Handicapped Children's Pilgrimage Trust.
Jim, headteacher at St Matthew's RC Primary School in Jarrow, and Maria, deputy head at St Aloysius' RC Junior School in Hebburn, hope to complete the ride between July 23 and August 15.
