Agent to cycle from Land’s End to John O’Groats on penny farthing

Penny

An estate agent is to cycle from Land’s End to John O’Groats on a penny farthing bike in a bid to raise money for Cancer Research UK, after his mother’s death from the disease.

Andrew Donald, a partner at Woolley & Wallis, based in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, will be joined by Chris Saltrick, an accountant.

The pair are hoping to raise between £10,000 and £15,000 from the 1,000-mile ride. Their 1880s’ penny farthings have an average speed of just ten miles an hour.

The money raised will aid in the funding of the new Francis Crick Institute based in London and in support of personalised medicine.
