Round Table’s fundraising goes up a gear

MEMBERS of Lymm and District Round Table put the wheels in motion on back-to-back charity cycle rides – and earned almost £400 in the process.

Dave Openshaw, Chris Stephens, John Edwards and Rik Wilson (pictured) rode the 60-mile Cheshire Plains and Peaks Cycling Challenge and raised £200 in aid of St Rocco’s Hospice.

Not content with that feat, Dave, Chris and John were joined by Rick Church for an even longer ride – 100-miles from Wythenshawe Park to Nantwich and back – for Christie Cancer Hospital in Manchester, which raised a further £190.

“My dad got treatment at Christie’s when others said there was nothing they could do,” said Dave. “I’m really pleased we managed to send some money their way – along with St Rocco’s – it made the resulting aches and pains well worth it!”
