And here is the Gibraltar Chronicle article....
UK CHARITY CYCLE TO GIB RAISES OVER £10,000
Charlie Vaughan-Griffiths and friend Humphrey Butler successfully completed their charity cycle from the UK to Gibraltar at Eastern Beach, yesterday afternoon.
Cycling through France, participating in the Alpine Road Race for Help the Heroes and finally cycling down the Eastern Coast of Spain; the duo smashed their fundraising target by raising an impressive £10,000 for Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice with over 67 days of long distance cycling. The 4,000 kilometre adventure was inspired by Charlie’s father, who had attempted to cycle along this route almost 50 years ago and sadly passed away earlier this year after battling liver cancer.
All the money raised by the cycling duo is planned to be donated to the hospice which cared for his father before his death. Boasting whispy long beards and golden tans, the two charity cyclists crossed the finishing line in style and with bags of amazing experiences behind them.
“It’s huge; it means so much to me and my family. Doing this trip has been rewarding on so many levels and there’s no reason why it has to end here. I think there’ll definitely be part two of some sort in the future!” commented a cheerful Charlie on his achievement.
