'QUOD' BIKER RAISES AMAZING £4,137 FOR BRIGG CHARITY

 


More than £4,000 has been raised for the Brigg and District Breast Cancer Support Group by one man's marathon efforts.
Jo Goulby has contacted Brigg Blog about her husband Royce, who raised this whopping total for the local charity. Many Brigg people also know him as 'Quod'.
Jo says: "In 2020 he pledged to ride his bike for 5,200 miles it return for donations for the Brigg and District Breast Cancer Support Group. His aim was to raise £2,000. He battled all weathers; he was poorly for a short time, suffered a shoulder injury but he kept battling on as this charity meant a lot to him and he was doing it to show his support to a very special Auntie.
"Every Tuesday he would update his followers on Facebook of the miles he had achieved that week and share the link to his Just Giving page. The outcome is outstanding; he has raised a whopping £4,137."
Jo rightly says this is an amazing achievement. The money will be presented to the support group at the end of this month.
Well-known Brigg couple Phil and Dawn Clipson (ex-Britannia Inn) kindly informed Brigg Blog about this marathon fundraising effort some weeks ago and suggested we should feature it in due course.
