STAFF at a Lichfield business have raised money for a dementia charity by taking up a cycling challenge.
The Specsavers team covered the equivalent distance from the city to Vienna – where the Eurovision Song Contest was held – on a static bike in store.
Their efforts saw them raise £231 for Dementia Caring.
Praful Patel, store director, said:
"Our cycling challenge was a massive success – and the whole team was so keen to get involved.
"Dementia Caring is a wonderful charity that does vital work to support individuals living with dementia right here in our local community.
"A big thank you to everyone who came out to cheer us on, we couldn’t have done it without your support."
Angela Brookes, from Dementia Caring, said:
"We are so incredibly grateful to the Specsavers Lichfield team for taking on such a huge challenge.
"The money raised will directly contribute to our Time Out Clubs. These sessions are a lifeline, providing people living with dementia and their caregivers by giving them a much-needed break through engaging activities like music, exercise, games and arts and crafts."
