THREE members of the same family have raised more than £1,000 by cycling from Land’s End to John O’Groats.
Brothers Martin and Brian Whiteside, from Birch Hill, and brother-in-law Andrew Browne, from Wokingham, took on the 888-mile challenge to fundraise for Diabetes UK.
Bob Whiteside, Martin and Brian’s father, has suffered with Type One diabetes since 1972 and it was his battle with the condition that inspired Team Bob.
Martin, 39, and Andrew, 41, cycled for 10 days last month, spending a total of 57 hours and 13 minutes in the saddle, to raise £1,084. They were joined for some sections of the trip by Brian, who spent two days on his bike. Their support crew was made up of Bob, his wife Dot and long-standing family friend Peter Hollick.
