COAST TO COAST COMPLETED Cyclists Complete Challenging Journey to Raise Funds for Mental Health Awareness In a remarkable feat of endurance and determination, a group of local fundraisers successfully completed a gruelling Coast to Coast Cycle to raise money for mental health awareness. Led by Lee Shepherd, the team embarked on the challenging journey, covering a distance of approximately 211 miles. On the first day, the cyclists set off from Southport and battled through the rain for 75 miles, making their way to Hyde.

ing terrain over the Woodhead pass along the Moors. However, their spirits were lifted when they reached The Magic Wood Cafe around 10:30 am. There, they were greeted by their supportive family and friends, who provided much-needed sustenance and encouragement. With renewed energy, they soldiered on, covering another 75 miles before concluding their second day's journey. Undaunted by fatigue, the team's tired legs propelled them forward on the third and final day. Fortunately, the rain held off, but they faced strong headwinds throughout the day. Despite this additional challenge, they persevered, and after cycling 61 miles, they reached their destination of Hornsea, marking the end of their incredible journey. The group initially set a fundraising target of £1,500. However, due to the overwhelming support from their community, they surpassed all expectations. As of now, their total stands at an impressive £4,000, with an additional £800 raised through gift aid. Recognising the continued generosity of donors, Lee Shepherd expressed his gratitude and announced that their JustGiving page would remain open for a few more weeks for anyone interested in contributing. Shepherd added, "All six of us would like to thank each and every person who has supported us along the way." Their extraordinary dedication to mental health awareness has inspired many and is a testament to the power of community and compassion.
