DEDICATED 11-year-old Calum Simmons led the way when he completed a gruelling 154-mile coast to coast bike ride with his parents to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society.
Calum wanted to raise at least £1,000 for the charity but has already collected in more than £1,100 online, with much more in pledges still to come in.
“It looks like the total’s going to be £1,200 to £1,300, which is fantastic,” said dad Lee, 48, who completed the ride with his son and wife Anne, 49.
