Charity challenges

Date published: 28 July 2008


Four men from Healey based Sai Martial Arts have raised £1000 for charity courtesy of a Manchester to Blackpool bike ride!

David Whittles, Jamie Ward, Robert Howarth and Daniel Hitchings all did the Manchester to Blackpool ride. The Sai Martial Arts men cycled the grueling 60 mile bike ride to raise money for Spring Hill Hospice and Heartbeat.

Three of the men also completed the Three Peaks Challenge in 22 hours.

The martial arts club do many different charitable challenges each year, earlier this year they did the Leeds to Liverpool canal on bikes and are considering taking on the Chester 100 as well.
