They clocked up their miles in spinning classes and by using exercise bikes in the gym and then logging their distance on their MyWellness app or keiser app.

Active Northumberland fitness manager Michelle Gray said: “This has been a brilliant challenge and a great way to build fitness while raising money for such a good cause. Everyone played their part and reached or exceeded their target ”Charlie Elvin and Robert Curle both cycled 1,000km each, while Regan Graham decided to run the 300 miles instead of cycling and Mark Charlton rowed 100 miles.
