A team of cyclists is celebrating after raising £3,000 for charity by pedalling from Leeds to Liverpool.

Stephen Irvine, of Burnley, led a team from Aircelle along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

Stephen chose the charity as his father-in-law died of motor neurone disease. Aircelle donated £300, and a minibus and transit vans to transport the bikes. “It was a massive success,” said Stephen.
