Town Councillor, Chris Bartrum, will soon be embarking on a cycle challenge to raise funds for the Friends of St Mary’s Church, in Ross-on-Wye; Cllr Bartrum will be cycling to and from every St Mary’s Church in Herefordshire.

He will cycle exactly 250 miles between all of the the 41 churches, and he will be including an additional visit to Hereford Cathedral.

He has set aside six consecutive days to complete this challenge, beginning on Monday, September 28th, but he has allowed a couple of extra days, just in case the challenge takes a little longer than expected.

An online justgiving donation page will soon be set up, but those who would like to pledge a donation can contact Cllr Bartrum directly, on (01989) 563299.
