Darren is cycling 700 miles in 7 days to help fund life changing opportunities for young people with disabilities.

A Leicester-based business man Darren Bradbury is currently cycling 700 miles in 7 days to raise funds for Menphys.

Menphys is a charity that provides services supporting children and young people with disabilities and their families.

Today, as part of day 4 of his challenge, Darren is heading to Milton Keynes from Leicester.

Darren's aim is to ride 700 miles in 7 days covering Leicestershire, the hills of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, the wind and coasts of Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and also Rutland.

Darren had set himself a huge target of £20,000 and at the time of writing, has already raised £23,600 through JustGiving.

Every penny raised will go to support the work that Menphys do for disabled children and their families in his home county of Leicestershire.

" Over the last couple of years, I’ve taken on one or two challenges to raise some money for a charity that has become very close to my heart!

"Those challenges have raised a total of over £30,000 and made a massive difference to so many deserving families but that being said, there’s always been a feeling of unfinished business, one last itch so to speak.

"Many of you will know I turned 50 a few months ago and my aim is to try and raise £20,000 to take my fundraising to £50,000.

"So this is it…..The final curtain, the last hurrah, my final challenge - and this one is the biggest yet!"
