Always seeking the next personal challenge Pete Hollins and Alun (Haz) Harries are cycling across Europe this Summer from the most westerly point in Wales to where East meets West in Europe, Istanbul.

Both guys are keen that supporters and followers of their latest adventure have the opportunity to celebrate their efforts by contributing to causes that they support.

CTM NHS Charity is the official charity supporting patients, families and NHS staff across Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil and Rhondda Cynon Taf. Every pound donated stays local and helps fund practical improvements that make a real difference, from extra equipment and better spaces to staff wellbeing support and community health projects.

Where are they now!
