We have been following Janine Gillard and Phil Taylor’s progress on their sponsored bike ride from Petersfield to the Pathenon to raise funds for Maddy’s Mark.

They cycled back to a joyous (and noisy!) welcome by pupils and staff at Churcher’s College – their starting point back in September.

Maddy’s father Simon Lawrence tells Jo Gray more about the charity, plus we hear from the dedicated duo as well as some of the school children.

The eagerly awaiting welcome party!
The grand arrival!
