Paul’s Pedal-Power Raises Over £2,000

A Market Harborough man is thanking people for their support after completing a gruelling fundraising challenge.

Paul Molyneux cycled 1,000km on a static bike at the Snap Fitness gym and raised over £2,000 in sponsorship for charity Samaritans, where he volunteers.

He started the epic ride at 8am on Friday and completed the journey – the equivalent distance of cycling from London to Copenhagen in Denmark – at 10am on Sunday.

It was the first of two big challenges for Paul, who will embark on a 1,500km outdoor ride in August to continue the fundraising.
