“We are so pleased to have raised £4,119.92 for the Wingate Centre and have lots of fun doing a variety of activities.
“It is great to support such a worthwhile local charity.”
Matthew Roberts and his dad Gareth have been doing 20-mile cycle rides 20 times all over Cheshire.
Matthew finished his challenge by cycling his last cycle to the Wingate Centre where gym staff were waiting for him and presented him with a medal and certificate.
He raised £1,510 and his dad Gareth who accompanied him on the all the ride, said: “We have had a great time doing all these cycle rides and wonderful to be raising money for the Wingate Centre which means so much to Matthew who loves coming.”

“Thanks to people like this supporting us we are able to carry on the great work at the Centre.”
