CYCLISTS raised £4500 for charity by completing a gruelling bike ride from Durham to Edinburgh.
Cyclist Peter Bartley led teammates on a 200km ride to raise funds for Heel and Toe, the Pelton-based charity for children with physical disabilities.
Charity trustee Mr Bartley, director at estate agents Bradley Hall, said: “I have been involved with Heel and Toe for some time now and I have seen first-hand the fantastic impact its work has on children in the region who need therapy for physical disabilities.
“We thought this would be a great opportunity for us to go the extra mile and raise money for such an important charity.
“It was a great challenge and we are incredibly proud to have raised enough money to provide therapy to a child for a full year.”
