On 7th July, Gareth Higgins and Huw Morgan from Swansea started a strenuous challenge. They cycled from Caernarfon to Swansea, following a central route, which is around 200 miles, and also climbed Snowdon, Cadair Idris and Pen y fan (the Welsh three peaks) on the way – and did it all in 26 hours!

Friends and colleagues came to join them for various parts of the route and they were supported through the night by two cars for safety reasons. Family members and friends were waiting to congratulate them on the sail bridge in Swansea marina at 11.00am on Sunday July 8th.

The total raised for CRY was £860.

“Although it was a daunting challenge, I thoroughly enjoyed it (well most of it!) and knowing that it was all in aid of a good cause helped spur us on. I’d like to thank family, friends, neighbours and colleagues for their generosity in raising so much money for both of my chosen charities. The money raised will be going into the Debbie Rendle Memorial Fund. Debbie was a cousin of mine who sadly died of an unexpected cardiac illness a few years ago and left 3 children all under the age of 5 years.”
