Very worthwhile trip
On Saturday 29 July Olly Whittle (aged 7) completed his challenge to ride 50 miles on his bike for East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH). Olly trained hard over the last three months to build up his stamina and talked through the route he wished to ride to include the busy streets of Norwich. Olly woke up bright and early, setting off from the Windmill at 5.50am. He was forced to stop after 20 miles due to a puncture, getting back on the road for 10am. He breezed through Norwich and continued, with endless energy towards Acle, his chosen destination. He arrived at 2.30pm at his Grandparent’s house to enjoy a rest and endless desserts!
He was thrilled to receive the Blue Peter Silver Badge which is awarded to Blue Peter fans who show individual acts of kindness and do something for others. Olly and his family are very proud as well as overwhelmed by the amount of support from friends and family. His fundraising page is https://www.justgiving.com/page/ollyridesforeach where you can find some photos from the day. So far he has raised £1260 from over 70 donations. A big thank you to the local support, especially Olly’s school friends and his neighbours on Mill Road.
