| Well the Brethren, family & friends of all those taking part did go that 'extra mile' & together with donations from the West Lancashire Mark Benevolent Fund & The Royal Order of Scotland raised the magnificent total of £6346.02p | ||||
| On Saturday 10 December those who had participated in the event gathered at a social evening hosted by Temple Lodge 1094 when the final cheque for £2046.02p was presented to Angela McShane of the 'R' Charity. | ||||
| Angela thanked all concerned for their generosity in giving their time, effort & donations to support the work of the 'R' Charity & in particular the Linda McCartney Cancer Care Centre. | ||||
| With the magnificent generosity of their supporters, over the last 3 years those that have taken part - be they riders or support team have raised a total of unbelievable total of £17939.02p & this has been distributed as follows: | ||||
