Batman and Robin raise money for charity

Posted by Elaine Okyere on Jul 25, 08 09:26 AM in

Batman and Robin swapped their bat mobile for bicycles as part of a bike ride for a Stanmore-based charity.
Luke Peace and John Cheasman, who both work for the spinal injury charity Aspire, based in Wood Lane, took part in the organisation's annual cycle ride last Sunday (July 20).
The two men, who tackled the course on a tandem bike dressed as Batman and Robin, have raised more than £1,000 for the charity.
It was the first time the swim-school coordinator and lifeguard had taken part in the 52-mile challenge around St Albans and Harpenden.
Mr Peace said: "it took us four hours and 47 minutes and we only stopped for two water breaks.
"The weather held out, which was good. It was a bit restrictive in fancy dress the Lycra was quite tight, but fancy dress and the tandem bike was a great way of raising money."
Aspire's Andrew Ogierman, who co-ordinated the event, said: "The second Aspire summer cycle was a great success.
"All those taking part had a fantastic day. We are well on course to raise over £10,000 from the event."
Anyone wanting to donate money should contact Andrew on 020 8420 8951 or email andrew.ogierman@aspire.org.uk.
