A TEAM of 30 cyclists, striving to raise money for vital lifesaving equipment, has cycled 255 miles from Portishead to Land’s End.
As part of the Heart Restart Challenge, the cyclists are raising money to help the Lions Club of Portishead install public access defibrillators in and around the town.
Simon Robertson, who organised the sponsored cycle, said: “We had a brilliant time. It was two-and-a-half days of hard cycling which included several punctures, very tired limbs and saddle sores.”
The participants are hoping to raise £20,000 for the life-saving equipment. To support the cause visit www.virginmoneygiving.com/HeartRestartChallenge
